Maryana was born and raised in Kyiv. She studied at the lyceum, where she actively participated in self-government, and in 2019 she chose the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute in the field of management and business administration. Mariana also volunteered for such projects and events as Accelerate forum from Terrasoft, Business Constructor, exhibition “WOW Ukraine”. She took part in a scholarship program from DeciedEd, in which she helped future entrants with the choice of the future. I learned about USF by chance when I saw the questionnaire for the Leadership Program.

«For me, USF is a community of the coolest people I’ve been looking for a long time. The openness, support, active life position and purposefulness of each participant make this project incredible. And although we are all here for different reasons, but with one goal – to create a truly free society.»
