Bio
From 2021, I’ve worked in the field of Youth Development having implemented a mentorship initiative in New York City while pursuing my degree. After reviewing my Bachelor’s degree, I joined the US Peace Corps as a volunteer within the field of Youth Development, which brought me to Dilijan, Armenia. Here, I worked within the community teaching English and life skills, implementing volunteering initiatives, and managing projects both on the national and international scale. These experiences have given me qualifications in alternative learning settings, and have deeply inspired me to pursue impact in my work.
What teaching method you prefer, and why?
I strongly adhere to experiential learning methods. We live in a dynamic world, which gives us so many opportunities to learn from real scenarios! Experiences bridge the classroom to the world.
Who is your role model or mentor or who inspires you?
I am deeply inspired by the work of Mr. Ruben Vardanyan. He inspires me to keep planting the seed of a tree, whose fruits will be enjoyed, even if I don’t see it today.
What is your life motto?
Love days ahead
What are three things you cannot imagine your life without?
Love, kindness and a little something sweet!
What do you like to do in your spare time?
On my spare time, I love to travel, exercise, play my flute, bake, or crochet.
