Biography
I was born and raised in Esfahan, Iran, and earned a B.A. in Dramatic Literature from the Art University of Tehran. For my final undergraduate project, I explored the classical structure of Greek tragedies, which led me to pursue further studies in the Philosophy of Art—one of the closest fields to Classics available in Iran—with a focus on rhetoric in Plato’s dialogues. My first M.A. thesis was titled "On Rhetoric: Based on Plato's Gorgias."
Building on this foundation, I began a second M.A. in Greek and Roman Studies at the University of Calgary, where my research examines women's rhetoric in Plato. I intend to continue this line of inquiry, and expand my study to classical Athen's philosophy and literature in the near future.
Beyond English as my second language, I am a native Persian speaker and have proficiency in Ancient Greek (advanced), Latin (intermediate), and academic French.
