She was born Emiliya Dmytro on November 11, 1977, in Berdyansk, Ukraine, Soviet Union. Her mother, Anna Kovalenko, divorced her father, Andrich Dmytro, soon after her birth. After the divorce, her mother struggled to survive as a farmer. Young Emiliya was brought up by her mother and her grandmother, Kateryna. During her youth, Emiliya had the humbling experience of living in poverty with her mother running a small farm and a small grocery store to make ends meet.

By age 18 she made a trip to Moscow to study Business Administration and management, upon her return to Ukraine she began managing her mother's grocery store, with help from friends in Russia she was able to bring goods from Russia and sell them in Ukraine.

In 1995, Emiliya married Stanislav Petrenko, who works in an Oil and Gas company. They have been working together since. In 2010, the couple travelled to Turkey to sign a five-year contract with an Energy company. This paved the way for the Petrenko family to move outside Ukraine.

The couple returned home to Ukraine in 2017 to continue their business and supported a lot of businesses in Ukraine, the couple made a lot of charitable support and was considered philanthropist due to their support in the society. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Stanislav Petrenko signed up to join the Ukrainian forces along with his 26-year-old son to defend Ukraine, unfortunately, both Stanislav Petrenko and his 26-year-old son never made it through to the end of 2023 before he passed away.

With the destruction brought by the way, the Petrenko family suffered a great loss in their businesses.
