I am Minnesota born, raised in the land of 10,000 lakes where flannel is an entire category of dress, not just a shirt. I grew up eating hot dish (the rumors are true) and although my tastes have changed, my morals haven’t. I’m passionate about food and music and will travel far to experience both. I appreciate true friendship, and carry extra caramels in my purse as an expression of good will. I’m an avid explorer and am frequently described as a gatherer of experiences. I like my coffee black and my martini’s dirty. I’m proud of my heritage, and have visited Ellis Island to run my fingers over my last name- the first Armenians to enter this great country. I’ve been to 47 countries, and my goal is visit all 127 in my lifetime. I sing loud in the shower, but louder in my car. I don’t care about where you’re from, but I do care about what you’re doing.

Learning. Travel. Live theater. Serendipitous connection. Cooking. Deep belly laughs. Hot yoga. Podcasts. Classical music. The front page of the internet. Bike riding.

Belting high notes. Previously with the Minnesota Opera Company for 7 years as an apprentice and opera singer, I grew up behind stage.
