Questioning, passion-driven, independent thinker, disciplined, determined to succeed.

​

These are the qualities of successful lifelong learners. And Stefan Ayanian possesses them in spades. From his early days as a Sacred Heart University undergrad to his final semester of grad school, Stefan has gone above and beyond to challenge himself, learn new skills, and to consistently practice his existing skills. Always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done – whether it means getting up in the wee hours of the morning to finish an assignment or voraciously reading everything he can find about the things that interest him. He questions everything, seeking clarity and conciseness in all his endeavors.

​

Stefan has packed many diverse learning experiences into his time at Sacred Heart University in a variety of roles. His work at The Spectrum and Forbes, along with his journalism classes and freelance writing on the online platform, Medium, contribute to a solid writing background in multiple genres. Through these experiences, he has discovered his voice. His increasingly complex podcasting and camera experiences (both video and still photography) have honed his visual media skills throughout his academic career.

 

Stefan rounds out his academic and professional resume with a well-balanced approach to all that he does. He is a musician and was a club baseball player throughout his years at Sacred Heart, all while maintaining an outstanding GPA and healthy life. His curiosity, assertiveness, and compassion will serve him well in all of his future endeavors. Stefan will always be a lifelong learner. He will never be complacent.
