Takeaways
Childhood Incidents
Denise is a first-generation Armenian-American on her father’s side and second generation on her mother’s.

Being an older sister in a single-parent household, Denise also learned to stand up for her mother, and become a solution-seeker who took charge.
Influential Groups
Denise grew up in Queens, New York in a middle-class community composed of people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions. Even though she is not a religious person, being born into a Christian Armenian family taught her to be tolerant of all practices.
She also gets her love for food from the Armenian culture, which she has extended into her practice as a wellness coach, teaching people how to use food to heal. Denise belongs to the Central Park Dance Skaters Association and has skated all over the world.
