Biography

Christine is a Biology and Biotechnology graduate from the American University of Madaba.

She has enjoyed volunteering and supporting the community ever since she was a small child. Working with kids and youth has been a pleasure to her, where she has demonstrated a strong commitment to community service by volunteering as a leader in Homenetmen Armenian Scout. In addition, she has been supporting and working with vulnerable groups abroad through Erasmus+ projects.

Through the Lazord Fellowship, she is currently working as a Communications Assistant at Finn Church Aid (FCA). She considers Lazord as a unique opportunity to break into the humanitarian and development sectors by working closely with like-minded individuals and organizations. “This fellowship represents an invaluable opportunity for me to further develop my expertise, collaborate with experts in the field, and amplify my impact. I am committed to working tirelessly to promote youth empowerment and create lasting change. Together, we can empower young people and shape a brighter future for all”.
