Khrystyna was born and raised in Kharkiv, Ukraine. She studied at the Kharkiv State Academy of Culture, where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in film directing. In 2017, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a sports production director, studying at Santa Monica College and gaining experience at ESPN, NFL Network, and the Tennis Channel.
When the pandemic struck and Khrystyna was on maternity leave, she began working as a personal assistant to the CEO of EIFC (Enrichment Intervention Family Center), an ABA center dedicated to helping those on the spectrum. Now a mother to a baby daughter, she recognized the valuable services that ABA therapy provides and became passionately involved in supporting other children and adolescents.
In 2022, Khrystyna was appointed vice president of the nonprofit organization Ahead with Autism, where she is committed to providing compassionate and well-informed care to diagnosed children and their families.
