Kateryna is an activist at the Ukrainian Students for Freedom. She was born, raised, and currently lives in the multifaceted city of Dnipro. From her childhood, she was loved nature and Ukraine. Over time, this fascination evolved into more concrete things and values. So now, Katria is studying to become a biologist, working with children in a scouting organization, participates in the creation in various volunteer projects, and actively contributing to the activities of the student council. She joined to Ukraine Students for Freedom in 2023, and even before that, as a supporter, she had the opportunity to attend several events that made her fall in love with this organization.

‘For me, Ukrainian Students for Freedom is about a community of people who as if pierced by a strong thread of freedom values. Something new, dynamic, creative, and significant within this freedom constantly emerges. All of this is done by individuals who are willing to take responsibility for their actions and the future. Or Ukrainian Students for Freedom is like a heart that fills life with possibilities and new discoveries, which then grow into something greater. Or Ukrainian Students for Freedom is like the most crucial chromosome, and the activists, functioners, and coordinators are powerful DNA molecules in which the Freedom gene is encoded. I am happy to be in such a vibrant and progressive surrounding people.’
