Grānātus Marketing

I like to think of Granatus as my best project so far, mainly because it's a complete failure.
Founding Granatus and utterly failing at landing customers led me to key insights which serve me well in any project now. 

1. Start with WHY 

Marketing, SMM, Being an influencer, all of these have been pretty vivid trends for the last few years. The rumor and the proof that you can make money in these fields spread quick enough for everyone and their grandmas to hop on the ambiguous  and crowded stage of "success".  I was among them. What I didn't consider was that my initial excitement would soon fade away and I'd be left off with another chore I wasn't willing to complete. 


2. Re-establish your values. 

How do I want to contribute to the society I live in? 
What is the sphere that I feel like I belong to and am extremely eager to develop?
What is my society lacking?
These were the questions I had to ask myself over and over to finally arrive on my answer - Education. 
I love to do a lot of things - writing, pottery, drawing, learning languages, questioning my and others' beliefs and values. 
My mission was now clear: to combine my passion, skills and determination  and bring them to the Education sphere. 

3. The only true education is re-learning and un-learning. 

The methods we are using now in teaching, business, medicine haven't been present a few decades ago. Same for the methods we'll be using tomorrow. Hence, it's important to give space to alternative, unconventional education and learning, to constantly challenge the mind which subsequently fosters evolution.
I always remind myself that I might not be right. This in fact makes me more confident in myself, knowing that I have enough trust in my vision to be flexible with it, to find alternative ways of achieving it, to collaborate with people who're better at it.

Fund For Armenian Relief

FAR is an American-Armenian NGO that provides aid for the people in Armenia, Artsakh and Javakhk in the areas of education, child protection, economic development, healthcare and social services. 
Volunteering at FAR gave me a great opportunity to enhance my abilities as a storyteller and bring fascinating life stories of various people to the public. 

My role as a volunteer was to conduct interviews with doctors, including pediatricians and pediatric neurologists. The interviews were focused not only on what the professionals gained from a certain training which was funded by FAR, but also their life stories and choices that led them to where they were at the time. 

Volunteering at FAR introduced me to the world of humanitarian aid and thinking beyond oneself. I also got to know countless people and professionals, who were heroes in their field.

American University of Armenia

Kond is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the center of Yerevan. The conditions of the block are below average which makes the lives of the residents tough to deal with. Despite the disturbing conditions, many of the residents still refuse to leave the neighborhood even when they have the opportunity.
Me and two of my friends decided to find out why.

"Humans of Kond" was a project that me and two of my peers created in the frames of our Oral History class at AUA. During the project each of us interviewed one family from Kond to learn their life story, where they come from and most importantly what's holding them in Kond. 

As a final product, we presented the stories to the class and to a guest Oral Historian from France. 

What started as a class project extended into learning to value one's past, the importance of place and memories and building friendships with people we probably wouldn't have met otherwise.

Study for Success

Study for Success  (SFS) is a private language school based in Yerevan, Armenia. In 2017 I made my first steps in the English teaching field at SFS. What initially started as a part-time job, turned into a full-time passion. I was able to leverage my curiosity towards teaching and put my education in the Communication sphere into practice. 

The vast age range and diversity of people in terms of personal & professional background, character, motives of learning English have taught me how to craft a unique approach towards each and every individual. 

By closely observing my mentor and colleagues, I extracted the proven techniques of
- crafting lesson plan to meet the individual's objectives
- dealing with miscommunication and conflict among students, as well as among students and the teacher
- giving a constructive feedback
- combining education and fun, thus making the former more effective.

From being an instructor to a group of 5 year olds to eventually teaching young adults, adults and even the elderly, SFS gave me the perfect opportunity to put the theories I've learned on Communication, English and Conflict Resolution into practice.
