I was born in Iran and spent most of my life in Los Angeles, where I have always been involved with the Armenian community.

I studied economics at the University of California, Berkeley and later earned a law degree from the University of Southern California.

I have spent the majority of my career practicing civil litigation in state and federal courts in California. I have additionally worked as an editor and translator.

I moved to Armenia in 2021 and am working as an iGorts fellow at the Constitutional Court.
