About Anastasiia
Service Associate
Hi, I’m Anastasiia Okunieva, and I’ve been part of the Farm Bureau Financial Services team since 2024. I focus on helping make the insurance process smooth and efficient for our clients.
I assist with preparing auto, home, and farm quotes and help organize information before your meeting with Yana. By connecting with clients by phone, text, or email, I can gather details in advance so your time in the office is productive and convenient.
Originally from Ukraine, I speak four languages, including English and Polish. My background in Computer Technology and Design helps me manage systems efficiently and find creative solutions when needed.
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors with family and friends and staying involved in church activities.

About Yuliia
Service Associate
Hi, I’m Yuliia — though most people call me Julia. I’m originally from Ukraine and have been living in the United States for about four years.
I’m a proud mom to my seven-year-old son, and we also have a sweet dog who brings joy to our home. Animals have always been important to me, and one day I hope to open my own animal shelter.
Since joining Farm Bureau Financial Services in June 2025, I’ve enjoyed being part of such a supportive team. As the first person many clients meet or speak with, I strive to make everyone feel welcomed and cared for.
Whether you call or visit our office, I’m here to help make your experience smooth and positive.

About Annette
Senior Account Executive
Licensed Property & Casualty and Life in KS, AZ, and UT
Hi, I’m Annie Williams, and I’ve proudly served Topeka and surrounding communities in the financial industry for more than 25 years. During that time, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the important role insurance plays in protecting financial security and providing peace of mind.
My faith guides the way I approach both life and business. I believe in serving others with integrity, kindness, and compassion, and I strive to treat every client the way I would want my own family treated.
I’ve been married to my husband Travis for nearly 30 years, and our favorite place is wherever we are together. We enjoy traveling, volunteering, and spending time with our large extended family — and with our energetic chocolate goldendoodle, Ellie May(hem).

About Bud
Account Executive
Licensed Property & Casualty in Kansas
My given name is Buddy Sanders — my father named me that with the hope I would grow up to be a true friend. Most people know me simply as Bud.
My wife of 54 years is my best friend, and together we’ve raised four wonderful children. Today our family has grown to 16, which I consider one of life’s greatest blessings.
I bring more than 25 years of experience in property claims, including work as a field adjuster, appraiser, and litigation specialist. That background gives me valuable insight into how policies perform when they are truly needed.
At the Yana Ross Agency, I focus on building relationships with farm and ranch families, helping them review coverage and prepare for the unexpected.
