Merri Bagumyan

Welcome to the Merri Bagumyan State Farm Agency, proudly serving Studio City and the surrounding communities!

Hi, I’m Merri Bagumyan, your local State Farm Insurance Agent. I was born in Riga, Latvia, and moved to the United States with my family at the age of 14. I graduated with honors from North Hollywood High School and later earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Communication & Journalism from the University of Southern California (USC).

I began working at age 15 and obtained my insurance license while attending school and working full time. That decision changed the course of my career and helped me discover my passion for helping people protect what matters most. With more than 10 years of insurance industry experience, I’m proud to represent State Farm and serve individuals, families, and businesses in our community.

Giving back has always been important to me. My community involvement has included mentoring and supporting teen dating violence awareness and prevention through Break the Cycle and AGBU. My personal philosophy is simple: live with purpose, stay authentic, and lead with kindness—values I bring to my agency every day.

My experienced team and I are here to help with Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Renters Insurance, Life Insurance, and other insurance needs. We proudly serve Studio City, Valley Village, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Woodland Hills, Winnetka, Chatsworth, Glendale, Burbank, and communities throughout the San Fernando Valley.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and discovering new restaurants—especially great sushi and tacos!

As a woman-owned local business, we’re proud to serve our community with personalized service and care. Call, text, email, or stop by our office. We look forward to meeting you and helping you protect what matters most.
