Los Angeles, CA - Responses to the Celebration Luncheon honoring

Katherine Sarafian continues to receive commendations and
congratulations for her role as Producer on Disney*Pixar's most recent
Golden Globe and Oscar winning film, "Brave." Sarafian has been an
integral part of the success and growth of Pixar Animation Studios,
holding a variety of key leadership positions that have culminated in
her role as Producer of the award winning film "Brave." Previously,
she worked as production coordinator on the studio's first full length
feature film "Toy Story." She served as Production Manager in Pixar's
Short Film Department and as Art Department Manager on the studio's
second feature film "A Bug's Life." She also worked in the production
of "Monsters, Inc," "The Incredibles," and the Oscar-winning
"Ratatouille" in 2007.
The Program Committee for this special event are proud to announce
that Araksya Karapetian,
Reporter/anchor for KTTV Fox 11 News will be one of the featured
speakers at the luncheon. Karapetian is one of our most noted women
in the field of journalism currently working on the KTTV Morning Show,
4:30 - 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Broadcast. Karapetian joins Ken
Davitian, noted American Actor and Comedian of Armenian descent,
serving as the Master of Ceremonies. Davitian is best known for his
role in the 2006 comedy film, "Borat," and in the 2011 Academy Award
Winning film, "The Artist."
Araksya Karapetian gained her experience from simultaneously taking on
two internships at KABC-TV in Glendale and KFI Radio, and a job at
Torrance City Cable 3, waking up at midnight to work the overnight
shift at KABC, after which she would go to KFI in Burbank and finish
her day in Torrance.
She emigrated to Palos Verdes from Armenia when she was seven years
old. She went to college in New York, graduating from Syracuse
University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and International
Relations. Prior to joining Fox, she was a reporter at a small
television station, KIDK-TV in Idaho Falls, ID, and then spent two
years at KOIN-TV in Portland, OR. She returned to L.A. to be with her
family; she is fluent in Armenian, Spanish, Russian and English.
