Born and raised in beautiful Orange County, CA, I could not imagine living somewhere that isn’t sunny. As a senior visual media journalism student, I absolutely love photography, writing, and talking with people. I spend most of my free time outdoors, either at my favorite beach, on a short, local hiking trail, or reading in my own backyard. I also love finding unique local spots to visit, from surf shops to bakeries – let me know if you have any recommendations!
My passion for journalism started young. As a kid, I would make homemade “newspapers” for my parents, often writing about the news and weather around the house. Then I began following political, local, and global news. I started by following the news in Armenia, where my parents were born, and from there it blossomed into a love for people, travel, food and culture.
I am beyond thankful to live in a country where we can practice the art of journalism without fear or danger. I love being a part of the Biola community – being able to get a higher education while focused on the Lord is something I am so thankful for. I can’t wait to use my skills in the craft of storytelling for God’s glory here at Biola and even in the post-grad life.
