Meet the founder

Olena Nalivkina was born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine. At 20 years old Olena was was forced to seek refuge in United States after actively participating in the Maidan Revolution (Kyiv, 2014). She returned to Kyiv in 2019 finishing her B.S. in Aircraft Maintenance then returned to the United States intent on becoming an American citizen.

After working multiple jobs and acclimating to a new life in the United States Olena again set her sights on Ukraine by joining the Aeroscraft Corporation, providing defensive systems to the Ukrainian Border Guards and Military. This led to Olena working for the United States Congress where she was able to help people from all over the world. Throughout, her work with the Ukrainian community never stopped.

After Ukraine was further invaded by Russia, using her military, political and business connections, she took action to open her first non-profit that provides vital humanitarian help to people who are forced to leave Ukraine, including her own family.  UA PULSE is a non-profit organization that makes an impact providing vital aid to the Ukrainian people; those fleeing their country and those fighting for its survival.

Olena's goal is to involve not only international community but the whole Ukrainian diaspora leaving abroad and encourage them to join and help.
