Ava Mucikyan, the founder of the Salt Room LV, is a true embodiment of the American dream. She was born and raised in Armenia, a country where a hierarchy of men and women still stands strong. Throughout her career, she worked in many international non-profit organizations and helped empower women who did not think their opinion mattered. Ava’s passion for empowering women fueled her courage and leadership to move across the world as a graduate student in 2005 and obtain her second master’s degree in intercultural communications from the American University in Washington, D.C.
After moving to Las Vegas in 2007, she started her banking career where she received multiple awards and recognitions for her leadership and achievements. Ava left a high-paid career with a title of vice president in corporate America to follow her dream in 2014 and founded the Salt Room LV, which allowed her to continue staying true to her passion.
She quickly became a published author and a philanthropist. In 2018 Ava won the Rising Star of Women of Distinction Award for her leadership and contribution to the community. She has a dream that one day all women will unlock their full potential, live fearlessly and change the world.
