I am currently dedicating part of my time to my passion project, the Kooshesh Foundation, which I co-founded in 2023. This venture has allowed me to merge my diverse career skills with my passion for positively impacting my community by creating the largest non-profit Persian school and cultural center in Orange County, CA, https://kooshesh.org.

With a background in engineering and a decade of experience in operations at global companies like PepsiCo and Unilever, I've developed a keen analytical eye and excelled in cross-functional collaboration. When my first child was born, I decided to take a sabbatical from the corporate world and embraced the challenge of becoming a home-educator. This transition sparked my interest in human behavior, learning styles, and compassionate communication, which I immersed myself in.

Finally discovering UX design when I was ready to return to the corporate world became a turning point, allowing me to blend creativity with the skills, tools, and expertise I had accumulated throughout my career and life journey.

I am a lifelong learner and a seasoned professional who would bring a unique and fresh perspective to the table.
