Yana Galitskaya

Before moving to the United States, Yana worked as a flight attendant, spending much of her life in the skies while connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds around the world. After arriving in America, she embraced a new chapter of life as a mother, dedicating several years to raising her son and building a future for her family.

​

Like many immigrants starting over in a new country, Yana faced uncertainty and challenges — adapting to a different culture, building a new professional path, and navigating life without established connections or perfect English. During that period, she asked herself an important question: what comes next? Once again, life led her back to the sky — this time through service in the U.S. Air Force.

​

Seeking stability, purpose, professional growth, and the opportunity to create a better future for her family, Yana joined the Air Force and trained as a medic. Through her service, she developed leadership skills, received world-class training, and discovered a strong sense of purpose in caring for others. Her first assignment brought her to Germany, where she proudly supports service members and their families every day.

​

Today, Yana is passionate about helping others who are considering military service in the United States. Through American Dream Force, she hopes to share her real-life experiences, offer guidance and encouragement, and help future immigrants and service members make informed and confident decisions about their future and their own American dream.
