PanARMENIAN.Net - Dr. Marina Khubesrian took the oath of office as a
new City Council member at South Pasadena's City Council meeting. Nine
candidates ran for three seats, only one was an open seat, and Dr.
Khubersrian won more votes than any of the nine candidates.
With her 15-year background as a family doctor, educator, and business
administrator, she feels she can contribute to city government in a
meaningful way, according to the Armenian Reporter.
Born in Armenia her parents immigrated to America when Khubesrian
was ten-years-old. She attended the Alex Philibos School from the
seventh to the twelfth grade and graduated with honors. Her interest in
medicine began as a UCLA undergraduate when she discovered her love for
biology. Rather than concentrating on becoming a research scientist,
she decided her deep interest in the study of life could be better
served in medicine where she could help people in a more personal way.
Those positions took her throughout California and Washington state
and it was then she decided to return back to Southern California to
open her practice.
She has served as the medical director of the Glendale Adventist
Alcohol and Drug Services (GAADS) and is the associate director of
the Family Medicine Residency Program. Her private practice is now
in Montrose where she specializes in Family Medicine.
