I am Sam Hakobyan, an Armenian raised in Saint Petersburg,Russia. I moved back to Armenia to pursue my undergraduate studies. After finishing my bachelors in law atGavar State University, I served in Armenian military for two years. I was an intern in the Armenian Parliament, the department of Legal Expertise. However, I felt the necessity of becoming international. In 2014, I arrived in Shanghai to earn my master degree in comparative politics from Fudan University. That was a great experience after which I was sure that my story in China and specifically in Shanghai is not done yet. Currently, I am enrolled in the doctoral program in public administration in Shanghai Jiao Tong University at SIPA. My research interests include political economy and local governance. In future, I hope to work in Armenian government and improve relations between Armenia and China.
