The English language has been a life-long journey for me. I started learning English as a toddler, my mom taught me rudimentary vocabulary she knew and read stories, exposing me to the language. As a teenager, I started doing translations from English to Farsi and vice versa, which ended up with writing and translating articles for @home Robotics Team at Islamic Azad University and industrial manuals and books for Nivan Hydraulics Co.

Some traits run in the family, as for ours, it's been teaching. I started teaching English in my first year in college, having one-on-one sessions and free discussion classes. I worked as a Curriculum Specialist at Nivan Hydraulics Co. responsible for creating curriculum for hydraulics, pneumatics, and PLC courses in addition to contacting and contracting various institutes for didactic courses.Later, I taught at the University of Applied Science and Technology in Tehran, Iran.
