Work Experience

 

  • Currently, I am proud to serve as the Math Department Chair, where I continue to foster a love for mathematics and support both students and colleagues in achieving their academic goals.
     
  • With over twenty-five years of dedicated service at Chamlian Armenian School, I have had the privilege of teaching across all grade levels. This experience has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of student needs at every stage of their academic journey. My commitment to fostering a positive learning environment has been at the heart of my teaching philosophy, guiding countless students to success.
 
  • Watching my students grow and thrive is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I believe in the "Power of Positivity" and strive to instill this mindset in my students. Seeing my past students return to share their success stories is a testament to the lasting impact of a positive educational experience.
 
  • I love hearing from alumni who visit and share stories of how the foundation I helped instill, along with my words of encouragement, continue to resonate with them. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that these lessons have supported them through tougher math classes and remain a source of inspiration in their lives.

  • Cultural Exploration:
    Traveling is more than just a hobby for me; it's a way to connect with diverse cultures and broaden my perspective on the world. Each journey is an opportunity to immerse myself in new experiences and learn from the rich tapestry of global traditions, while sharing my proud Armenian heritage.

My family is my joy and a source of endless inspiration. I treasure the adventures I share with my husband and our four adult children. Whether we are embarking on exciting travels to explore new destinations or simply enjoying cozy moments together at home, each experience is a cherished memory. In addition, I am proud to be a Chamlian MOM, with one of my children graduating as a Chamlian alumnus from the Class of 2014.
