My name is Liliia, and I’m from Yakutia — the coldest region in the world. I earned my bachelor’s degree in applied math and IT from the Financial University in Russia. During my gap years between studies, I worked as a data analyst in e-commerce while also mentoring teams in solving business cases, combining my passion for data with my love for collaboration and problem-solving.

At Duke, I hold a Graduate and Professional Studies Student Assistant position, where I help organize events and programs for students.

Outside of school, I love coding and designing products, running, traveling (I’ve visited 12 countries solo!), and having deep, thought-provoking conversations with friends. I'm always happy to connect with prospective students!
