A Female Engineer in Armenia
The first thing I did this year after graduating from the University of California Irvine with a Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering was head straight to Armenia to participate in the AYF Internship in Armenia program. I chose my field of study knowing that I would one day use my education to contribute to the advancement of Armenia’s scientific and technological sectors. Although I grew up

Very well said… More power to you…
I am sorry that you had a challenging time with societal issues – but proud that you overcame them and have come out re-energized to pursue your career goals in STEM and your community responsibilities – both integral to advancing our collective cause.
Վարձքդ Կատար (Vartskt Gadar)!
As an Armenian-American male in the STEM field with a daughter currently pursuing a degree in STEM, and also wanted to make a difference in Armenia, it is disheartening to hear about these old fashioned attitudes in the workplace. However, I appreciate your speaking out about this and stating the realities and challenges that others should expect to be faced with. I also appreciate your positive attitude. I hope that you can find a more forward thinking company in Armenia that appreciates your skills and helps you develop your career.
Every Armenian should be proud of you for your achievements, patriotism and your endeavors to help the motherland with your expertise. Please keep up your great work. Best of luck!
What eshags. Carry on dear sister.
how frustrating and narrow minded, i didnt realize this was the culture in armenia
the country is small with a low number population and to restrict half of that number is absolute madness. cant believe it, so short minded and ignorant, with whats happening with aggressive azeri and turk the other side shutting half of your country just arrogant, they should wake up and educate the establishments and the society, i could be wrong but i do remember there was an old saying that the armenians are their worst enemy if thats true then the nation is lumbered
they should wake up and shake up and join the new era

Very frustrating can’t believe with a country so small and low population one can afford to suppress half of its population specially surrounded by hostile neighbours . Just doesn’t make sense. Even though Israel is one hypocrite country not recognising the genocide but one has to commend them how they have survived and thrived throughout decades and their motto has always been irrespective of having USA as a loyal friend but they have to rely on their own people for protection and progress
Well done to you and your commitments and best of luck
