Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am deeply passionate about mathematics and have participated in mathematical olympiads at both the national and international levels. Over the years, I have received numerous distinctions, including the Maryam Mirzakhani Award for the Americas at the 67th International Mathematical Olympiad, as well as an Honorable Mention. My other achievements include one Silver Medal, two Bronze Medals, and an Honorable Mention at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad; a Gold Medal at the 2026 Asian Pacific Mathematical Olympiad; three Bronze Medals at the Iranian Geometry Olympiad; and two Silver Medals at the Pan American Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad.

Beyond competing, I greatly enjoy sharing my passion for mathematics with others. For the past five years, I have trained younger students for mathematical competitions, and last summer I organized and conducted a month-long online Olympiad mathematics training program for girls.

While mathematics has been a major part of my academic journey, I am also drawn to the natural sciences, particularly regenerative biomedicine, where I am fascinated by the possibilities of understanding and harnessing the body’s ability to heal and regenerate itself.
