Anna Ter-Zakarian
Fundraising Chair
- Who are you? Anna Ter-Zakarian
- What’s the one thing you cannot live without? My family. They are my greatest blessing, especially my brothers Armen and Arthur.
- What is your favorite book? Harper Lee’s masterpiece, “To Kill a Mockingbird”. I love characters like Atticus who display strength and conviction but do so with an unquestioned humility. The most memorable moment in the novel for me was when Atticus turned to Scout and said, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” I’ll never forget that.
- What kind of person do you want to be remembered as? As someone who, in my own small way, tried to make a difference in people’s lives.
- What quote do you live by? Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips': For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...
- Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Finishing med school.
- Who is the most influential person in your life? My father. His favorite saying was, “there is always room for improvement.” That pushes me.
- Most perfect moment….When I’m surrounded by people who know all my faults and love me anyway. And, to make matters sweeter, we are all surrounded by cherry garcia ice cream – my favorite! - from Ben and Jerry’s.
- Favorite song? “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles. It never fails to brighten my day!
- What I want to accomplish….So many things! I want to be a compassionate doctor. I want to forever maintain my beautiful Armenian heritage and my close friendships with my Alpha Gamma Alpha sisters. Most of all, I want to be a person making a dent in the lives of people and communities in need. That’s my biggest hope for the future.

Cynthia Momdjian
Senate Rep.

4. What quote do you live by? "A Lifestyle is a Terrible Thing to Waste." - Entourage. Very true! There is so much more to life that sitting around and waiting for it to happen.
5. What’s the one place you’re dying to visit? Italy because I love Italian food, culture, art, language, and fashion!
6. Who is the most influential person in your life? My younger sister, Nanor Momdjian. She knows how to keep me grounded. She inspires me with her optimism towards her future and gives me hope for mine as well. I wish I could be as carefree, strong, and independent as her sometimes. Her beautiful voice soothes and relaxes me at most stressful moments.
7. Most perfect moment…. was receiving my USC acceptance letter. I fell to my knees and began to cry immediately because it was something I worked extremely hard for. It was perfect because my loved ones surrounded me and shared my happiness with me. My blood, sweat, and tears finally paid off at that moment!
8. Favorite song? “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles. It never fails to put a smile on my face and brighten my day!
9. You will usually find me at… the Annenberg Lobby having a non-fat latte with cinnamon and browsing my many favorite shopping websites or iChat-ing in my apartment with my boyfriend, Alex.

Also, if I have to pick something with food it has to be coffee, especially Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I am obsess with coffee and can drink it everyday for the rest of my life.
5. Who would you call to bail you out of jail?
My boyfriend Nima. He would bail me out of anything and wouldn’t want to ask for anything back in return.
6.What’s the one place you’re dying to visit?
I would want to visit the country that my parents are from, which is Iran. I have never been there but would want to go there and get a better sense of all the great stories they told of me while growing up. It is one thing to hear about Iran and seeing it in person.

She sometimes likes to “act” like she can finish my sentences but I know she can literally know how I am feeling or what I want to say. She knows what I like and what I don’t like and it’s not bad that we have the same sense of style because we can literally buy twice the amount of clothes haha. |
