About Yana
Yana was born on October 15, 1998 in Kokhma, Russia. She immigrated to the U.S. in May 2004 with her parents. Yana is
in third grade. She loves swimming, playing with her little sister, and hanging out with her friends.
Yana began taking acting and modeling classes at John Robert Powers in Scottsdale, Arizona in January 2007. In March
2007 Yana auditioned to be a participant in the July 2007 iPOP! Convention although she didn't expect to be selected. In fact,
Yana and her mother nearly decided to leave the audition prior to Yana's turn.
As luck would have it, Ron Patterson, CEO of John Robert Powers, was present for Yana's audition. Mr. Patterson felt
that with the 10 weeks of clinics that iPOP! participants attend she would be ready for iPOP! Yana was so excited and over
the next few months she worked hard to get ready for iPOP!
