Olena Gryn, Director of Operations at International Translation Services, Inc. in Des Moines, IA, is holder of two Master’s Degrees in Business and a former professional athlete with a Master of Sports in Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Mrs. Gryn came to Iowa to pursue her MBA at Drake University in 2010 and moved to Iowa permanently in 2014. She has always been passionate about learning languages and cultures, and enjoyed immersing herself in Iowa's multicultural communities. The idea of becoming an agent of positive change that helps bridge cultures was the main reason for her to join the CultureALL family.

Back in Ukraine, Olena worked for the Peace Corps, USAID and WHO Offices in Kyiv. Olena is a big lover of dance, astrology, and interior design. She most of all enjoys dancing together with her son Luka.
