Meet the Interns (Part IV)

Shant Douzdjian

My name is Shant Douzdjian. I am from Portland, Oregon. I currently am an undergraduate student at Carleton College in Minnesota, majoring in chemistry and pursuing the pre-med track. As an intern in the AYF Internship program, I am excited to spend 8 weeks of my life in Armenia this upcoming summer. The Internship is an opportunity for me to gain further experience in my field of interest, further my proficiency in the Armenian language, and familiarize myself with Yerevan and the rest of Armenia. I hope that by participating in this program, I will be able to open more doors through which I can return.
