Meghedi Tamazian is a seventeen year old girl who resides in a Chicago suburb. She is a member of her school's speech team and competes in the individual event of "Poetry Reading." She has represented her school in numerous literary conferences, festivals, and magazines, and has been mentored by renowned poets such as Kevin Coval and Roger Bonair-Agard.
