Where are you from? Armenia

Where is your favourite place in the world? I don't have one favourite place. There are a lot of places where I love to spend time for various reasons. One of them is being/walking in the woods. It brings back so many images I created from different bedtime stories read to me by my dad when I was a child.

What place should someone not miss on a visit to your homeland? The History Museum of Armenia - it's a unique place where the past meets the present. There are about 400.000 national objects from different eras. I love the national costume and jewellery gallery of the museum which has already inspired a lot of Armenian designers who have been working hard to bring some of the national jewellery and fashion designs back to life. Pregomesh is my absolute favourite jewellery design brand!

What is your greatest strength as a teacher? I am very patient.

What is your favourite word in English? Fantabulous :D It's a made up word though.

What do you like about Brno? The location - it is much easier and cheaper to travel to other European countries. I also love the architecture. The city seems like an open air museum.

Why are you working for ILC International House Brno? It is a highly professional setting and because I think there is still a lot for me to learn and people who I work with are ready to help me develop professionally.

What do you do in your free time? Most of the time I either listen to music or go on day trips, check out some restautants or shops.

What was the last present you bought for yourself? A ticket to "The Nutcracker". As a child I loved the tale and the cartoon. Now I am excited to see the ballet performance.
