I grew up in Kazakhstan, where I pursued my high school education and played basketball for the Varsity team at Sports gymnasium for gifted athletes. At the age of 16 I was accepted to the National Women's Basketball team being the youngest professional basketball player in WNBA in Kazakhstan. I came to USA at the age of 18, when I was invited to play college basketball at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and was given an opportunity to pursue my bachelor's degree in business administration. My professional career consisted of various Product and Supply Chain Management roles within different industries including industrial supply distribution, medical supply manufacturing, product wholesale, IT, healthcare, and diagnostics. I possess over 19 years of professional experience taking roles in Channel Leadership, Brands, Product Management, Vendor Management, and Marketing.
