I am also influenced by Persian writers and poets Hedayat, Behrangy, Ferdousi, Saadi, Rumi, Etasami, Farokhzad, etc.
After coming to the United States, I have studied and worked in several fields, mostly in psychiatric settings. I also taught nursing at Metropolitan Community College. My formal education in the United States includes a BS, a BA, a BS, a BSN, an MSN, and a PhD.
My degrees are almost all in science, which celebrates the inflexible and absolute medical tradition. However, a person is required to know different views and fields (science and the humanities) in order to clearly differentiate various ways of thinking. I received science degrees not only to know its contribution to humanity but also its limitations.
Prose and poetry are my love, my leisure, and the outcome to the pains of society that have given birth to my worldview.
My love for writing exceeds my materialistic need. My desire is to spread my experiences, my views, which I think could be helpful for broadening the perspective of youths, young adults, and also older adults. My dream is to ignite the thinking of others, to reflect on and reevaluate their values and philosophical notions of their lives.
Education and literature have had such a powerful impact on my life, and giving back to these experiences is more than worth my time.
My love, my determination, and my heart are in human characters and values and the bridges between the classes, races, and all the isms of our time.view less
