Originally from Ukraine, Yuliya immigrated to the United States at 14, when she was fortunate to have strong role models on her side. Following her undergraduate studies, she earned a Leadership Executive M.B.A. at Seattle University, a program focused on preparing the next generations of CEOs. Yuliya gives back for all she has received, and over the years has stayed involved with various initiatives offering financial education and professional development—Operation Redline, Year Up, ADP Mentorship, Culture Council and Seattle U Mentorship programs.
