In addition to being a third year student at Albany Law School, Yana is currently the Production and Online Editor on the Journal of Science and Technology, the Executive Treasurer of the Student Bar Association, and the Vice President of the Intellectual Property Society. She is the designer/creator of the SBA's brand new website and the administrator for her Journal's website (and upcoming blog). And on top of all that, she is renowned for her tech savvy (and nerdyness) and is often approached for software support and recommendations.
During her summer after first year, Yana worked in the Office of Legal Affairs in New York City's Human Resources Administration. During her second year, she interned at Albany's Dormitory Authority Counsel's Office. And this past summer, she studied abroad in Madrid, Spain with her fellow 3L fiancé (who popped the question during that very trip).
Yana graduated magna cum laude from Pace University with a major in Information Systems after a brief 3 and a half year stay. During undergrad, she worked as an office manager in an acupuncture clinic, where she learned the wonders of prioritizing, speed, multitasking, and balancing at least five different duties at any given time.
In her off time, Yana enjoys watching movies, organizing (sometimes simultaneously), and reading books with upcoming movies based on them. She loves being able to integrate the latest and greatest social media products into her routine and then help improve others' their lives with them. Efficiency through simplicity via social media technology will be the primary theme of Yana's posts.
