About.
INSPIRED BY DIFFERENCE.
These Days, I study Cognitive Psychology at University of Memphis. I have over 15 years of experience in educating middle and high school students. In my experience, I have observed the importance of the cognitive, social, and psychological state of students on their learning and educational performance. I achieved my Bachelor of Science and later my Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Tehran. After graduation, I realized I am less interested in joining the engineering industry and decided to follow my passion in sharing my knowledge with others. Therefore, I decided to start research and development programs in middle and high schools and engage young learners in doing research and developing products. During more than a decade of working with a large number of k-12 educational organizations and schools, I directly supervised students in national and international award winning research projects in STEM courses in incorporating research elements to their syllabus. I collaborated with the committee for 6 years and was able to reorganize the Junior “Demo” League to one of the most important sections of the annual tournament. My passion towards fostering motivation and education led me to found the first boardgame center in Iran named Cafe Fekr (translated as Mind Cafe) about 10 years ago. One of my most valuable working experiences happened in Tehran House of Mathematics (a non-profit organization for promoting mathematics in Iran) as a Scientific and Executive Consultant

LET’S TALK.
I think we can summarize everything in the world in games. Everything can be thought of as a simple or complex game and then it is our turn to choose a winning or losing player
