After earning her LL.M. degree at UC Berkeley Law, Tetiana Poudel LL.M. ’16 took flight on a fast-rising career in Silicon Valley at Meta and then Spotify. But when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, her focus shifted away from career advancement and toward helping her country. Poudel raised money and fueled venture capital efforts to provide supplies, equipment, and medication, including raising $13,000 for boots and tactical vests for her father's unit in the Ukrainian army. Last fall, Poudel joined the wildly popular social media platform TikTok as legal counsel.
