With the goal of finding a group of active and progressive people to change the world with, Yanna knew she found the answer when she heard about the projects being implemented by the Enactus team on campus. Two years after first getting involved, she now serves as the team’s Captain and says her biggest success is providing hope and happiness to the children they’ve worked with. As she leads the team in their preparations for World Cup, she hopes she will acquire more entrepreneurial skills through the experience so she can come home and help even more people.

• Book she’s currently reading: 1984 by George Orwell
• Her personal theme song: Everest by Okean Elzy
• One person who inspires her: Diana, Princess of Wales
• Enactus in one word: Power
• Single best Enactus moment: When our beneficiaries thanked us
• In five years, she will be…working for the world
