I am a psychologist and a teacher of EFL from Lebanon. Born in 1974, in a big family of five kids, bombs and shelters were the highlights of our childhood years. In 1991, I graduated from Yegishe Manougian College,the humanity section, then took off to work in my father's printing press. In 1997 I earned my BA in psychology from Haigazian University, being on the Dean's List periodically. In 2005 I earned my MA in General Psychology, Clinical Psychology as the main field of study, with a minor in School Counseling. My Thesis Findings addressed a psycho-social issue, research on the assimilation patters of the Armenians in Lebanon and the weight of the Armenian State in that process. Thus, in 2006, I was invited to UCLA, to participate in the fifth Annual Colloquium in Armenian Studies, to present the findings of my MA thesis among the PhD candidates from all over the world. My research based article is titled "The Assimilation of Armenians in Lebanon as a Function of Involvement with the Armenian State."
