"When I went to cover the war in Artsakh in 2020, I had no idea I would be the only American TV journalist to do so. While there, I fell in love with the people of Armenia, their language, culture, history, and food! As I got to know Armenia better, I realized the thing the country needs most is recognition - If the world knew Armenia, they would love Armenia and if they loved Armenia, they would support her the way they have supported Ukraine.
I decided to make 'Armenia: a Love Story' to raise awareness for all Armenia has to offer, and in the process, something amazing happened. Watch the documentary to find out!"
