Background

About Yana Voitenko

I’m a fourth-year International Business student at Thompson Rivers University, passionate about how artificial intelligence is reshaping business and education. As a Research Assistant for the Business Ethics course at TRU, I contribute to the development of AI-integrated learning materials that enhance student engagement and understanding of ethical principles in modern business environments. This experience allows me to deepen my knowledge of both emerging technologies and responsible business practices. At the same time, my role as a Support Coordinator with the YMCA Summer Work Student Exchange has allowed me to apply these skills in a real-world setting. I coordinate youth recruitment, build partnerships with schools and organizations, and help manage community-based programs across Canada. These experiences have taught me how to communicate effectively, solve problems under pressure, and lead diverse groups with empathy and professionalism. I’m motivated by growth, curiosity, and the drive to use innovation to create meaningful impact.
