Summary

I have more than six years of experience in operations management and digital marketing. I was one of the panelists at Spiel 19’ to talk about the achievements and development we had in Iran’s board game market with the title “A largely unknown yet expanding market.” I graduated with a CGPA of 3.8 from the University Canada West. A techie person who loves to learn as much about platforms as possible, and that is why I believe that not only companies but also individuals need to adjust themselves to digital transformation.
Beyond all, I believe that my most considerable flair is the ability to be a team member.
