She was a 2013 graduate of Tremper High School and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from Carthage College in 2017. For many years Oksana worked in security in the Milwaukee area and in Lake County, IL.
Oksana began riding horses while in elementary school. She joined a Kenosha 4-H club and in middle school she began competing at both the county and state levels, where she won various awards.
