1. So Anna what is it like working for TMZ? How long have you been with the show/company? Do you enjoy the show?

I’ve been with TMZ for over 7 years now. I spent the majority of my 20’s at TMZ—so I pretty much grew up here. Even though I worked at other news organizations before landing at TMZ, this has been my home for as long as I know now. I love the show because it’s entertainment news without the fluff. All my coworkers and I are so connected with pop culture. It’s def kept me young-- I still feel like the 22 year old who started here. 

I love my job and what I do. I studied Broadcast Journalism at CSUN and all I wanted to do was work in television, but I never wanted to be in front of the camera. Now that I am, it’s just an added bonus because shooting the show with my coworkers is a fun part of our day.

2. What is TOO FAB exactly? What are some Awards shows you have worked on?

TooFab.com is the sister site of TMZ. I cover fashion and beauty related stories for TooFab. I attend red carpets and interview celebrities and stylists. Most recently I covered the 2014 Emmys.

3. I know you are Armenian just like me:) Where are you and your family from and did you grow up here?

Yes, I’m Armenian. What people find most interesting is that I was born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia.  I moved to the states when I was 10 years old, I was there during the Soviet collapse. 

Being Armenian is a big part of my identity and it’s a great privilege to be a part of that. Even though, I sometimes have to defend my culture on the show by explaining to them that Armenians don’t trade their daughters for a donkey;).


4. What are you truly passionate about?

I’m an Aries, so I’m passionate about everything! But most important thing to me is family. Seeing my family happy is the greatest feeling in the world.

5. What’s a goal you would like to achieve in the next 5 years? 

In 5 years, I’d like to see myself flying across the globe. Problem is, I have a crippling fear of flying! I’d like to see myself conquer that fear and become a jetsetter. I can’t wait to start traveling!

6. What are your beauty and fashion must haves in Los Angeles? 

I love my city! For beauty I’d have to say sunblock. You can’t have glowing skin if you don’t protect it. A fashion must have in LA is a nice pair of sunglasses—so invest in a pair or two:).

7. What is one thing you would like to see change for humanity?

Hate. I wish people would stop hating one another for their differences. We need to start looking at people as individuals rather than grouping them into separate factions based on religion, race, or sexual orientation.

8. And Lastly how has Rock N' Brows changed your life??


 It’s changed my face! Sarah has the ability to make your face look better. I know we all think they’re just eyebrows, but once you visit Sarah…she will make you realize what a difference your eyebrows can make on how you look. She also teaches you how to preserve and maintain your brows until your next visit. Where I sit on the show, my eyebrows are in plain view all the time…so it’s very important to me that my eyebrows look flawless at all times.

INTERVIEWED BY SARAH AGAJANIAN

1. What inspires you the most to stay focused and goal oriented?

I get inspired when I meet individuals who work hard to make their dreams a reality and are not afraid to take chances. I have been lucky enough to have these kind of people around me growing up, and have been mentored by a number of inspirational people in both of my careers.

2. Tell me about your recent transition from attorney to real-estate agent? What motivated you to change? Were you scared?

I have always had an interest in architecture and design when I was growing up, but I also knew that going to law school would allow me to gain specialized knowledge and be financially independent in my early 20s. I enjoyed litigating for 5 years in two of the top international law firms in the world, but I also knew in my heart I had another passion that I felt compelled to pursue: real estate. Yes I was scared, but I had the emotional support of my family and friends who believe in me. I also knew that I didn't want to work for just any real estate agency; I specifically wanted to work for THE AGENCY, a firm whose agents are innovative, highly successful, passionate and energetic. Its been a perfect fit thus far and I love learning new things and meeting new people daily.

3. What would you like to manifest in your career in the next 10 years?

In five years (ten is too far away!), I am hoping to have gained the knowledge I need not only to achieve consistent closings in residential real estate sales, but also the ability to branch out into the development and investment world, which has always been my long term goal.

4. Is there anything you have learned in your recent transition you would like to share to women going through a career change? Any advice?

The advice I would have for women is to take a leap of faith if you are not fulfilled in your job. One of my favorite quotes that really inspired me to make this transition and keeps me optimistic through hard times is "Success is not about avoiding failure. Failure is about avoiding failure." This has taught me to identify what truly speaks to me, and take baby steps towards achieving it.

5. As a woman, what are your top 3 rituals you have in your life that make you happy?

Only 3 ?! I would say that getting any kind of beauty treatment, weekly dinner/drinks with friends and family and SHOPPING!

6. What is 1 wish you have for humanity?

In an effort to avoid sounding like a beauty queen, "world peace" would be high on my list. Everything that is currently happening around the world is really unfortunate and if everyone could just come together and compromise in life and, in turn, business would be so much better.

7. Last but not least: How has Rock N' Brows changed your life? :)

I still look at photos of myself before I met Sarah and I am in total disbelief that I spent the majority of my life with crappy eyebrows. Eyebrows really make or break your face, and Sarah does an amazing job in making anyone's eyebrows look perfect just for them.
