My Journey
2023 - Now
I've been working on a biotech startup "Medhesion". We developed therapeutics for patients suffering from post-surgical adhesions. Working with brilliant scientists is always great! Meanwhile I'm studying to do my CFA level I exam.
2019 - 2023
So I decided to immigrate to Canada. I did my undergrad in neuroscience at University of Calgary. Honestly compared to my previous experience with medical school, this program wasn't that challenging for me! I had a lot of free time to spend on exploring new topics. On my last year of my undergrad, I really got into finance and investing. That opened a new door to me... I got curious how I can combine science + finance.
2017 - 2018
I did well on IRAN national university entrance exam and got into medical school at IRAN university of medical sciences. Soon I realized this program is not for me or at least at that age I wasn't ready for that level of dedication. Plus the educational system disappointed hugely me. I decided to drop out! but I knew that maybe another program in that country would satisfy me either as I was in one of the best schools.
