PERSONAL: Daughter of Torgom Markarian and Helen Nazarian … a marketing-business admin major ... favorites include the Los Angeles Dodgers, Colleen Quigley, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Criminal Minds, Friends, The Pursuit of Happiness, Italian Food, Coldplay, J. Cole, and Netflix … chose CSUN because it was close to home and was the best fit for her … her greatest sports moment so far is breaking 18 in the three-mile as a junior and running 17:55 … says the best thing about being an athlete is the bond you create with your teammates and coaches and how much you learn about yourself when you are being pushed to your limits … says the toughest thing about being an athlete is staying consistent with her training and finding time to manage everything … the most famous person she has met is Channing Tatum…the person in history she would like to meet is Elvis Presley … would like to switch places with Gigi Hadid for one day … the two people she would like to have dinner with is Harry Styles and Leonardo DiCaprio … the best advice she has been given is don’t let anyone tell you what you can do or can’t do … her advice to young people is to live in the moment … says her greatest hero is her high school cross country coach, Kathryn Nelson because she pushed her to be the best version of herself both as an athlete and as a person and got her through some of my toughest times in her life and she doesn't even know it.
