I enjoy outdoor activities and anything that involves nature, from scuba diving in the ocean to flying over snow-capped mountains!
Scuba Diving:
I learned how to dive at a muddy lake in Wichita, KS! Later, however, I have been lucky to dive many interesting scuba diving destinations including, the Great Barrier Reef, Great Blue Hole, Cancun Cenotes, Cozumel, etc. Recently I have not had a chance to scuba dive much, because I have been focused on flying more!
Aviation:
I grew up in airforce bases around Iran, due to my father's job. As a child, I was fascinated with flying and dreamed of becoming a pilot. This dream of mine later became a reality! Currently, I am a certified flight instructor (CFI and CFII) and teach flying on the side. I have also geared some of my research into the aviation realm. I would like to acknowledge the following awards and organizations that paved the way for me to get my wings:
The 99s
CP Aviation
