About
People-first. Data-driven.

I'm building toward a career in investment banking, corporate finance, or financial consulting. As ASG Director of Budget & Finance at Saddleback College, I lead a committee overseeing a six-figure student budget, not just coursework.

Bilingual in English and Persian, with experience spanning Tehran to Orange County. I have been self-directing investments since 2022, and I founded College vs Cancer, a nonprofit delivering care packages to children with cancer in Southern California.

I believe financial literacy changes lives and actively look for ways to share what I'm learning with others.
