Yulia Zalygina has established herself as an insurance agent and financial professional with New York Life Insurance Company, where she has served since 2023. Her journey into the insurance sector was driven by a personal commitment to understanding and navigating the financial systems in the United States in order to protect her own family.

This experience honed her skills in strategic planning and economic consulting, laying a strong foundation for her subsequent career in the insurance industry. Upon arriving in the United States, she realized the two nations' financial landscapes were significantly different and began studying in order to apply her knowledge in a different context.

In July, she was named Rookie of the Month for exceeding critical performance metrics and demonstrating adaptability in her role.
