Meet SMART citizen Asya Poghosyan from Vanadzor. Three years ago she ended up at SMART along with two of her friends, where, as she describes, she managed to learn new languages, create, and acquire new soft skills.

Asya is a “professional” volunteer and a lover of learning. She confesses that she would have never thought — living in little Vanadzor — that she would one day study abroad. The SMART Center and traveling through different programs helped her to start dreaming bigger. Soon she’ll be studying psychology for her bachelor’s degree overseas.
