Personal Goal: To be happy.
Personal Statement including hobbies, interests, family, etc.: I like embroidering, reading, playing in sports. I am single, and live with my elderly father. I have fun with my nephews and I am happy when they succeed in something.

I was born in Spitak, Armenia and our family moved to Tbilisi, Georgia when I was a baby. I finished my secondary education in Georgia and sang in a choir when I entered an economics program at the university.

I became disabled as a result of a car accident. In 1994, my family and I moved to Armenia. I was accepted at the IPTRC, and that same year I joined the Paros Chamber Choir. In the Center, I learned embroidery and I have authored numerous works.

I live with my 80-year-old father, who after a stroke became very sick. Our only source of income is our disability pensions.
