"I am a woman with a scientific background in chemistry and water security, working at the intersection of environmental knowledge and community engagement."

"My lived experience includes over a decade of water quality work and direct collaboration with families, showing me how water awareness begins at home."

"I am committed to empowering women through education to foster sustainable water practices and long-term environmental resilience."

Water Experience

I have a background in chemistry and over ten years of experience working in water quality control laboratories in Iran. I completed my Master’s in Water Security degree at the University of Saskatchewan between 2022 and 2024. I currently work as a Program Facilitator at a family center, where I actively integrate environmental knowledge — especially water-related awareness — into my programs. Through direct engagement with families, I design and deliver educational initiatives that emphasize sustainable water use. I strongly believe that empowering and educating women plays a critical role in achieving long-term environmental sustainability and improving water stewardship at the community.
