My story is that of a linguist and researcher with a vibrant, playful inner child—someone who, after years of studying, researching, and teaching, remains deeply eager to learn and explore new horizons. Here, I share a glimpse of everything I do with all my heart and soul.

In Iran, I worked as children’s music teacher and a university lecturer. During my six years of teaching at the university, I was honored to be named ‘Distinguished lecturer’ twice. Driven by a desire to further my education and experience different cultures, I moved to Europe. For my doctoral research, I focused on the Persian language and auditory emotional perception through the lenses of culture and gender. Along this path, I developed the very first validated emotional speech database for the Persian language (Persian ESD), and I have had the privilege of presenting my research findings at universities worldwide, including in Iran, Germany, Russia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Estonia, and the United States.
