I am currently based in California, USA and have dedicated my time and expertise and passion to the Orange County Department of Education. As a Community Interpreter and Bilingual Parent Advocate, I am assisting Farsi-speaking families to build a bridge with school and their children. 

I have Bachelor of Arts in English Translation and Literature and Master of Arts in Immigration and Settlement Studies from the best universities in Iran and in Canada.
