ABOUT ME
I was born in Yerevan, Armenia. I have spent some of my childhood in Ukraine before permanently moving to the United States in 2006. In 2012, I became a naturalized citizen of the U.S.A. Prior to joining the political science PhD program at UC Irvine, I have received my BA degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2014, MA degree in political science with academic excellence from California State University-Northridge (CSUN) in 2017, and MA in mathematical and behavioral science (MBS) from UC Irvine which is expected in March 2020.
