Greetings! Welcome to our website where we hope to inform you more about us and our goals. My name is Dr. Lena Magardechian (my pronouns are She, Her, and Hers. I identify as a cis-heterosexual-female-woman) and I have a Doctorate in Psychology of Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from Alliant International University (AIU) (Some may know it as: California School of Professional Psychology- CSPP). I founded the organization Women’s Advocacy Club (WAC) in 2013 at Alliant International University and have now turned it into a Non-Profit Charity Organization. As an advocate for social justice and mental health, I thrive off of promoting and encouraging gender awareness, advocacy work/research, and empowerment. Please do not hesitate to get in contact with me on how to volunteer, collaborate, put on events/workshops, blog or get involved.

Member Recruitment Director Mr. Bryce S. Nicholson info@womensadvocacyclub.org
I’m Bryce Stanton James Nicholson (my pronouns are He, His and Him. I identify as a cis-heterosexual male-man). I am the Member Recruitment Director and I’ve got a burning curiosity for all things worldly, strange, and extravagant. With a keen interest in psychology, sociology, writing, and popular media, I find the constantly changing and transforming nature of our current society to be absolutely fascinating. Even through the dips and dives that we all go through, I think that it’s important to pay attention to which way the world is turning at any given moment, whilst indulging in my fair share of classic cinema and literature. Some say that I’m brimming with creativity and energy that can be put towards any subject, and others say that I have an overactive imagination – but I’ll leave it up to you to decide which is the truth there.
Social Media Director Ms. Anna Safaryan - info@womensadvocacyclub.org
My name is Anna Safarian (my pronouns are She, Her, and Hers. I identify as a cis-heterosexual-female-woman) and I am the Social Media Director for WAC. I handle all the information and content that goes on our social media pages. I find it fascinating how social media affects our community nowadays! Hence, the reason why broadcasting weekly posts is so important for WAC making a powerful and global change. Outside of WAC, I attend California State University, Northridge majoring in Financial Analysis, aiming to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Spring 2020. Aside from my educational goals, I have a passion for video and photo editing. Also, on my spare time, I write blogs about things that interest me, such as cinematography, history, astronomy, and poetry. I am proud to be part of this non-profit charity organization because I want to be associated with something that can support the people who are in need of some confidence boost and to show the society that things can always change in a better direction.

My name is Brittni Javier (my pronouns are She, Her, and Hers. I identify as a cis-heterosexual-female-woman). I am a self-employed hairstylist, part-time nanny, and an alum from Azusa Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I am passionate about helping others find and achieve the best version of themselves. Additionally, I am passionate about my cosmetology career because it gives me the opportunity to make my clients feel beautiful inside and out. I have been a nanny for several families over the past 8 years and it has brought me a lot of joy. I believe everyone has the potential for happiness and success and I truly enjoy pushing others to find those components in life. I am so grateful that I have been presented the opportunity to be the Chief Event Sponsor Coordinator for WAC. WAC creates an environment for individuals from all walks of life to collaborate with innovative ideas and passions that serve an impactful purpose. My position entails seeking out organizations that are interested in sponsoring WAC as well as organizing events for WAC members to attend.
