Lesya Babiy

Lesya at UCU Training Day in November

You may recognize Lesya Babiy from our Mississauga Branch or from one of UCU’s recent web ads on local blogs!  Lesya has been with the Ukrainian Credit Union Limited since October 2006. Starting as a part-time teller Lesya worked her way up through various positions to finally reach one of her personal goals, becoming Branch Manager!

Lesya is originally from Ivano-Frankivsk where she studied music at the State Musical College, receiving a Bachelor for her studies in Piano. Unbeknownst to many, Lesya is also a very talented singer and from a young age was active in the arts. Lesya was not willing to stop there with her education. She continued her studies at the Financial and Economic Institute to fulfill her growing interest in finance, receiving a Bachelor of Accounting.

Before settling in Toronto, Lesya and her family lived in Chicago for 4 years where she taught herself English and worked as a Retail Manager. On coming to Canada in 2005, she wasted no time becoming part of the UCU Team!

You can catch Lesya working in the garden or cooking something up in the kitchen for her family when she’s not at her desk. She waits for the day that she is the owner of the winning lotto ticket but until then keeps growing her RRSP, so that one day she can carry out her dream of traveling the world. As a goal-oriented individual, Lesya enjoys helping people fulfill their dreams. Whether it is helping members find a mortgage for their new home, building their RRSP or helping them manage a savings plan, she is ready to help you achieve your goals! Come visit her any time at the Mississauga branch on Cawthra.
