Education:
BA in Banking, Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics.
MA in Management (Internet Marketing & E-commerce), Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.
Background:
Yulia brings serious financial industry credentials to the classroom. She's worked across the spectrum—from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to major Russian institutions like Sberbank, VTB, and Rosgosstrakh. She's also spent time in fintech startups, giving her a well-rounded view of how money really works.
This deep industry experience taught her something valuable: how to break down complex financial concepts so anyone can understand them. She's authored "Money Like Minecraft" for teens and runs financial literacy workshops that actually make sense.
Personal side:
Yulia's a mom of two, which she considers her biggest achievement. She's passionate about teaching kids everything—swimming, math, cooking, you name it. Nothing beats watching a child have that "aha!" moment.
She's also a bit of a nomad who loves exploring different places and cultures. For her, life's real wealth comes from experiences and knowledge, not just bank balances.
Her philosophy: "School taught us to read, write, and do basic math—the survival skills of the past. But they missed two crucial modern life skills: managing your money and your health. I want to change that. Financial literacy shouldn't be some exclusive club knowledge—it should be as universal as regular literacy. In today's world, knowing how to handle money isn't optional".
