I am Mariana Margossian. I was born in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Growing up, I have always enjoyed being an active member of my small community. I helped re-establish the Armenian Youth Committee back in 2010, and I was elected a board member of the youth committee for 4 consecutive years.

Despite being raised in a very small community, my parents always made sure I had strong connections to my Armenian roots.

I have always kept a very close relationship with my fellow community members, and I make it my mission to make all Armenians feel welcomed.

I am very proud to be a participant of the Diaspora Youth ambassador program, and I look forward to organizing a number of events to help improve cooperation between Armenia & the youth in my community, because I believe with strengthening ties between the diaspora, Armenia and Artsakh, we can establish unity and have the full potential to be a part of the development of our beautiful homeland.
