In this episode, we talk with female boxer, Yana Tolmacheva, about how she shows up as a fighter in every element of her life (not just in the ring). Grab a notepad because Yana will leave you with inspiration and motivation you will want to keep with you! 

Yana describes herself as a "badass with a good heart". Yana works out of New York City, as Senior Director at Moishe House, a nonprofit focused on community building for young adult Jews. Yana oversees the global RSJ (Russian-speaking Jewish) department. When she’s not at work, you can find Yana at the boxing gym preparing for her next match. She has been actively fighting in competitions for the past 3 years and is the NYC Champion for 2 prestigious tournaments in 2019. Yana brings her fighting spirit to everything she does.

Yana earned her B.A. in psychology from Hunter College and is a graduate of the Hornstein Program at Brandeis University, receiving her MBA in nonprofit management and M.A. in Jewish professional leadership. Prior to Moishe House, Yana worked at the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston, managing the sister city partnership between Boston and Dnepropetrovsk.



Yana is an avid traveler, having lived in Argentina and Israel and traveled to several countries from Romania to Rwanda.
