Hello, my name is Ara Mazmanian. I’m 23 years of age and I have been chosen to receive the PMI Founders Award.

I became aware of the industry of architecture during 10th grade in highschool. I enrolled in a drafting class, because I heard it was fairly interesting, and fortunately the teacher made every class incredibly interesting. Ever since then I have been drawn to architecture and all aspects of construction.

Originally from Niagara Falls, Ontario, I left my home to study architecture at Ryerson University in Toronto. After my first 2 years I felt project management was my calling. I enjoyed the practicality and hands-on aspect that only project management could provide. Whereas I felt that the design aspect was a bit too subjective. Currently I’m managing a small project for the company I work for and enjoy every minute. I’m using the knowledge I gained at Ryerson and applying it to a real life project.

I’m very grateful and honoured that I have been chosen to receive this award.

Thank you. Regards,

Ara Mazmanian
