I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, but have studied and worked in North America (Boston and Vancouver) for the past 12 years. I have a Ph.D in linguistics from Iran and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the US. I also did 2 years of post doc at Harvard working on Persian and Arabic Mystic Literature. I taught philosophy, Arabic, and Persian at Boston College in Massachusetts for 8 years. Also, I worked as an academic advisor there at the same time, giving education and career advice to the students since 2015.
