Yana received her Master’s in Technology Management from Georgetown University in 2018. She received her Bachelors of Arts in 2015 from the University of Maryland where she studied Psychology with a focus in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Psychology.
Before entering the Cannabis Industry, Yana had always worked in Corporate America and became very successful at a young age. She gained experience in Intellectual Property Law, Start Ups, Private Equity, Finance, IT Management, Marketing, Branding, and PR. At 25 years old, she became Managing Director of a Legal Services Consulting Firm with offices worldwide.
But, a corporate career of building businesses for men was not her idea of success any longer. She utilized her corporate and professional skills to create her dream career with YANA Creative Agency, an agency focused on servicing the cannabis industry with creative marketing, talent collaborations, media production, and public relations. Street Lawyer Services was one of her major clients where she started at ground level and became COO within 2 years of work. She hired and trained over 15 women to operate the company and this is where their story as an empowered team of women in the cannabis industry begins.
