ANC-WR Intern Spotlight: Carina Khanjian
Los Angeles, CA – As a participant in the Armenian National Committee
– Western Region’s 2008 Spring Internship-Externship Program (ANC-WR
IEP), Carina Khanjian has gained valuable knowledge and experience
within the media and public relations field. In addition to writing
press releases and building media relationships, Khanjian has also
been instrumental in conducting a voter registration drive among the
Armenian American community.
"Upon hearing about the ANC-WR Internship-Externship Program I was
extremely excited to apply," exclaimed Khanjian. "I have been aware of
the ANC and its various activities but this experience has allowed me
to gain further insight into how this exceptional organization
operates on a daily basis," added Khanjian.
Carina is a senior at Alex Pilibos Armenian School and has recently
been admitted to the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA)
where she plans to study English and Communications. Khanjian has
also been a long time community activist and member of Homenetmen Los
Angeles and AYF Glendale.
Prior to her internship, Khanjian volunteered at the ANC-WR on
numerous occasions such as the 2006 Telethon as well as phone banking
to raise awareness of H. Res. 106. While volunteering for the
organization, Khanjian learned about the Internship-Externship Program
and was motivated and eager to begin partaking in ANC related
initiatives.
The Armenian National Committee – Western Region is the largest and
most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in
the Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of
offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States
and affiliated organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances
the concerns of the Armenian American community on a broad range of
issues.
