Knarik (Kara) Shaghoyan was born and raised in Armenia and came to America as an immigrant. She knows three different languages pretty fluently: Armenian, English and Russian. She loves traveling; due to covid she hasn’t been traveling much, but I’ve been to different places in Armenia, the United States  and the United Arab Emirates. She has been involved in journalism for years; previously, she was a managing editor in my old school and now has a Co- EIC position in Journalism at Golden Valley.

Kara is a Sagittarius, which means that she’s quite extroverted and pretty social by nature (an overall good personality trait to have for journalism).  She love playing sports and exercising in general- especially water sports. She was on her old school’s Water polo team for 2 years, and has been swimming for almost 10 years now. 

Speaking of which, she’s a new student here at Golden Valley. She came here for her junior year and she’s very happy to be here and be a part of the GV community. 

Being a part of this student newspaper means a great deal to Kara. She’s proud to say that she’s a student journalist because she has a way to make her voice heard as a student. This is a way for her to also have other people’s voices heard.

She feels like it’s a super power in a way.
