Communications Coordinator
Katya first met Christ in Russia when Young Life was just beginning to take root in the post-Soviet era. After moving to North America, she witnessed God multiplying Young Life clubs across Russia and beyond, drawing thousands of kids to Himself. In 2021, she joined the Young Life MEA staff, bringing both cultural insight and years of experience as an entrepreneur and a communications specialist with such organizations as World Vision, Decker Communications, and the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. Katya holds a BA from the College of Idaho and an MBA from the Schulich School of Business in Toronto.
She is honored to be a part of the organization that God used many years ago to profoundly change her life. And she is excited to give back. Katya and her family live in Idaho. When she is not telling stories, Katya enjoys spending time with family, playing tennis, and experimenting with new recipes.
