About the author
Teacher of Global Politics & ToK
At UWC Dilijan, Armenia, my teaching is guided by the UWC mission-which I embrace as a personal commitment-to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future, while nurturing thoughtful and ethical leadership.
As an educator, senior IB examiner, and IBEN Programme/Evaluation Leader and Workshop Leader, I design experiential, discussion-rich learning that strengthens analysis, empathy and informed engagement. I also draw on meditation, breathing practices and practical wellbeing strategies when students are under pressure, because clear minds learn best.
Alongside my PhD research on navigating complex and sensitive political issues in IBDP Global Politics, I see the subject not simply as a course, but as an ongoing conversation-one that helps young people think critically, act responsibly and lead with integrity.

“Her enthusiasm for the subject was what made me fall in love with global politics. She always prepared extra, which made us put in extra effort. She's definitely the one you go to to learn about the international community.”
