Career Objectives

I am an Executive Personal Consultant available by invitation to a carefully screened group of private clients. Contracting and temporary employment inquiries welcome from the Non-profit and Social Justice community. I am an experienced Non-Profit activist, Grass-roots organizer, and Fundraiser. I am currently working on an Opera chronicling the love affair between philandering Xerces, Emperor of ancient Persia, and his beautiful young odalisque Satareh, who wryly seduces him with the help of her family to become the new Queen of Persia.

Educational Background

I am proud to have been accepted to UC Berkeley and hope to start studying International Finance, Options, and Other Financial Derivatives in the near future. My long-term goal is to attend the Golden Gate University Executive MBA program. I am also working on my Private Pilot License with Sue Ballew.

I have recently attended Stanford University and have studied a broad range of subjects including but not limited to Website Design, Public Speaking, Marketing, Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Non-profit Strategic Development and California Native Plant Horticulture. Most recently I finished a Chinese Language, Business, and Culture program at Beijing Institute of Technology & Shanghai School of International Studies & Foreign Trade.

I attended Foothill-DeAnza Community College District starting at age 12 to study Liberal Arts in the Middle-College program & at 16 as a Genetic Engineering transfer student. I made a short cameo appearance for two years at Henry M. Gunn High-school where I informally studied human social interaction and enjoyed winning Long Distance Running competitions at the Junior Varsity Level. I am  an Honors & Dean's List graduate of Caņada Community College with an Associates of Science Degree in Paralegal Studies. I also have advanced education in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Immunology from UC Santa Cruz.

As a child, I attended the exceptional PAUSD public education and Nueva Private Academy for gifted children. My Origami Art was displayed to the public at the Palo Alto Cultural Center and I also worked with Bonsai plants. At nine I voluntarily memorized the oral prayers of the Zoroastrian culture and privately sang and recited these prayers under the supervision of Priest Jimmy Makujina (Peace be upon him). I also graduated from Temple Beth Jacob Hebrew School and was a participatory observer of a "Bennai Mitzvoth" Ceremony and can read Hebrew at approximately 36-54 words per minute.
