Data Journalism Instructor

Biography

I joined Hetq Media Factory in the summer of 2020. I’m the instructor of “Data Journalism" and "Technology in Journalism" subjects.

Quality, verified, and data-based journalism is important to me, that’s why I highly appreciate the efforts of Hetq Media Factory to create a high-quality media field in Armenia.

I am a data journalist by profession. In 2019 I graduated from the Faculty of Communications, Media and Design of the "Higher School of Economics", Moscow. I have studied a number of innovative and modern tools, which are used more frequently in international media outlets for preparing quality and unique articles.

My cooperation with the Armenian media field started in 2018. Within the framework of the Birthright Armenia program, I came to Armenia and volunteered for the development of the Russian department of "CivilNet" online TV company. Since 2019, I have been cooperating with Infocom, mainly in data analysis and visualization projects.

I am a regional partner of the School of Data Kyrgyzstan, and a data journalism mentor of the Lampa Accelerator educational program.

I am motivated by new challenges and opportunities for professional growth.
