Bio

Hi! My name is Nyrie Bouloutian, and I’m currently a junior at Penn State University, majoring in Advertising with a minor in Psychology. I’m a Marketing & Communications Intern for the Wharton AI & Analytics Initiative at the University of Pennsylvania, where I work on creative strategy, communications, and digital content that highlight innovation and leadership in the field of AI. On campus, I serve as the Director of Primary Recruitment and Honor Board Junior Member for Delta Gamma, which has helped me grow as a leader and team communicator. These roles have strengthened my passion for connecting people and creating positive, supportive communities. Outside of school, I’ve been active in the Armenian Youth Federation since grade school, which has kept me close to my culture and inspired my interest in advocacy and service. I hope to continue combining my background in marketing and psychology with my love for people, storytelling, and purpose-driven work to make a lasting impact wherever I go.

    Living Well Scholarship
    Clean living is crucial to keeping yourself and the environment healthy. It assists in keeping the environment more stable and healthful, and especially with climate change and global warming, prioritizing clean living is more important than ever. Having many benefits for the individual: living clean can boost an individual's energy and immunity levels, help achieve better sleep and mood, and decrease the risk of diseases. After seeing how much clean living can positively affect me and the planet, I decided to start prioritizing clean living practices, such as being more conscientious of what I consume daily. I avoid processed foods while constantly finding ways to incorporate lots of fruits and vegetables into every meal. Going vegetarian and, even better, vegan have such positive impacts on the Earth, which motivated me to stop eating meat entirely and do my best to avoid other animal-sourced products. Staying active and exercising every day, as well as staying hydrated, are extremely important to me as well. This keeps me energized and feeling good all day and helps me get a good night's sleep when it's time for bed. Seeing these positive impacts keeps pushing me to continue the clean living methods I am currently practicing and explore more to add to my routine as well.
