Poghosyan received her bachelor’s degree from California State University in Northridge. She was encouraged to explore the east coast for her master’s degree. She auditioned and was accepted into the program at the Manhattan School of Music. She received her doctorate and specialized in the music of Khatchaturian for solo piano.
