About me:

Maks is a rising junior living in Quincy House. He grew up in Armenia and studied abroad in high school. After coming to Harvard as an Economics concentrator, he still found himself exploring and ended up in the Applied Math department. He loves learning languages and hearing people's stories. Maks loves being around people and creating community, which is why you’ll often catch him prioritizing his social life a bit more than he probably should (we’re working on it). He is a decent chef and enjoys hosting cooking nights. Cooking and friends make him feel at home (Lowell's kitchen has seen the magic happen). Other than that, he loves the summer, the beach, and chilling. He is SO excited to be part of FIP this year and can't wait to help make your first week in your new home unforgettable.
