Bio

After graduating in 2014 I moved to Lithuania where I was volunteering in an orphanage, this experience sparked my love of teaching. In 2019 I went to Vietnam, and taught in different schools in Hanoi. Before coming to UWCD I have worked in different places of education and technology. My career as a teacher started with Teach For Armenia, where I spent 3 years of teaching in small villages around Armenia.
