I am 3rd generation Armenian – with both grandparents coming from Van, Armenia. I currently split time between Los Angeles, California and Seattle, WA.

I have dug into the topic of Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, Empathy and Compassion over the past several years as leaning into my Superpowers. My favorite Armenian saying at the moment is “Tsavt Tanem” – and hear the words of my relatives with loosely translated ‘let me take your pain’. I spent most of my early life not knowing how to feel or navigate my emotions and so have been really learn to unpack emotions, feelings and explore self compassion in addition to compassion for all which is where we are truly connected.

I believe that we are continuing to develop as humans to see that human connectedness. It is that unity and connection which will help us solve problems like anxiety, depression, climate challenge. My hope for the future is a place where we come together to create equity and equality for all divisiveness.
