Mariana is an activist of the USS. She was born and grew up in the picturesque village of Stari Kuty, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. She also graduated from school there, where she was the head of the TEMP student government from 2018 to 2019. In 2019, she started studying at the Yurii Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University, majoring in «Secondary Education (Biology and Human Health)», because she cannot imagine her life without inquisitive students and the opportunity to share knowledge with them. In 2023, she will receive the long-awaited bachelor’s degree and continue to obtain a master’s degree in the same specialty. One evening, she asked if there were plans for summer hikes in the mountains, and ended up on the 2023 Leadership Program in Medzhibozh. This is how her love for the bright yellow color and USF began.
