They were coached by Galina Churilova in Kharkiv.[4] Their partnership ended in 2000.

Voyko teamed up with Julia Golovina later in the same year.[3] Their highest placement at an ISU Championship was 15th at the 2003 and 2004 European Figure Skating Championships.[5] They skated together until 2006.
