Candidate Statement in English
Dr. Vivian Roknian has called Santa Monica home since 1982, when her parents moved to the city while studying and working. Growing up in this vibrant community, she attended Progress Preschool and Saint Monica’s, before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology from UCLA. She later earned her doctorate in dentistry from Temple University. After the tragic passing of her sister, Dr. Roknian returned to Santa Monica to care for her family. She reestablished herself in the city, bringing a combination of experience as a doctor, entrepreneur, educator and small business owner. She is now focused on applying her broad experience and forward-thinking solutions toward innovative plans that address our city’s crime, homelessness, affordable housing, and economic recovery. Dr. Roknian envisions a revitalized Santa Monica with a diverse, multi-generational and thriving population benefiting from renewed safety, inclusivity and economic opportunity. Her commitment to practical, innovative solutions is fueled by a long-running personal connection to Santa Monica and hands-on experience as an entrepreneur launching and running businesses. Inspired by her young son and growing family in Santa Monica, Dr. Roknian is dedicated to driving meaningful and lasting change in the city that ensures a flourishing community for the next generation.
