Ever since I met Olga, she hasn’t stopped impressing me. You will never find anyone as determined or as kind.

First thing you’ll notice about Olga is her creativity! She sings beautifully, which is how we met. She also knits, draws, cooks, builds furniture, you name it. Then when you start talking to her, you realize that Olga is wicked smart! She can solve any puzzle or riddle you give her, reads books every day, and was our top player when we used to play trivia with friends at university.

But when you really get to know her, you learn what’s most important to her: Olga is a wonderful mom, wife, friend, and aunt. She loves our daughter and spends tons of time teaching her patiently, playing with her, reading to her, and just having fun spending time with her, whether it’s camping, skiing, or just chilling at home building LEGOs. She loves my many nieces and nephews, and she helps her friends with their kids whenever they need it. She listens to her friends when they need someone to talk to. She’s the best partner I could have asked for – together we’re a team that can do many good things.

Olga is a cybersecurity researcher doing malware analysis at a big public company. Her workplace has flexible hours and allows remote work. Her office also allows the little ones of their workers to come to the office for the occasional kid-friendly events they host, and also for the free snacks. Having earned her MA in Linguistics from Ben Gurion University in Be’er Sheva, Israel, she is also a Certified Web Exploitation Specialist.
