Paola Kassabian

Born in Beirut, Paola Kassabian attended the Djemaran Armenian Lyceum where the love for all things Armenian was instilled in her. After moving to Los Angeles with her family, she graduated from Ferrahian High School and pursued academic interests and received her Doctorate of Pharmacy degree from USC. Although she really enjoyed her professional career, her first love was performing arts and music especially in Armenian and for her Armenian culture. Paola has co-created Hoy Lari, a popular Armenian children's music duo, taken part in a number of theatrical productions, and written her own song for the Armenian Genocide Centennial called "I Remember."
