"I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, and came to the United States in 1976 to study psychology. Over time, this became home, and I later became a U.S. citizen. My professional life has centered around clinical neuropsychology, particularly working with stroke patients. I also spent years in academic settings, including teaching at Northeastern Ohio Medical University. My interests have always extended beyond clinical work into history and anthropology, which continue to shape how I understand people and society. Outside of my profession, I've written articles and books, and worked on developing treatments for neurological conditions, including research on hemianopsia. These days, I enjoy a quieter life-- playing the Tar, a traditional Persian instrument, reading history, writing, and spending time with family. Music, especially, has remained a meaningful part of my life. Having grown up in a very different political environment, I've developed a strong appreciation for freedom of thought and belief. While I don't follow a particular religion, I respect the importance it holds for others. At this stage in life, I value depth, honesty, and a sense of purpose-- both in myself and in the people, I connect with."
