Meet Anna Gavryliuk

I met Anna a year ago during a dinner associated with BYU's Law and Religion Symposium.  I was very impressed with her accomplishments, abilities and engaging personality.  I ran into Anna again, earlier this month, at the JRCLS Leadership Conference in Utah.  I thought all of you would like to "meet" her as well.

Anna was born in Zhytomir, Ukraine. When she was 7 years old she began learning English and in middle school she began learning German. After high school, Anna applied and was admitted to Yaroslav the Wise Law Academy of Ukraine, in the Lawyers for the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Training Department.  

She was a dedicated student and graduated with straight “A's,” from both the Bachelor and Master of Law Programs. In 2009, Anna was a student at the Leavitt Institute for International Development. In 2011 the Leavitt Institute gave Anna a scholarship to study at the BYU Law School in its LL.M Program.

While studying at BYU, Anna interned simultaneously for two law firms, worked part-time for a BYU professor in the Russian department and as a teaching and research assistant for the following courses: Debating in Russian, Russian Masterpieces, and Russian Culture.

Upon completion of her LL.M in Comparative Law from BYU in April 2012, she accepted a clerkship with Kirton & McConkie, a Salt Lake City law firm.  She is currently working with their International Law section.

Anna’s true passions are swimming, traveling and securities law. Her future career plans include focusing on securities law, IPOs and helping with the issuance of bonds.

Anna, you are amazing!
