She is the younger sister of Julia Glushko (10 years older), who was also a professional tennis player (ranked as high as No. 79 in the world), and with whom she has teamed as a doubles partner. She was coached first by her father, and then by her brother.

Career In September 2017, Glushko won the inaugural Anna and Michael Kahan Family Prize in Ramat Hasharon, claiming NIS 100,000 in support; Glushko was able to use the money to purchase equipment and to travel abroad for tournaments and training camps.
