I'm a freelance writer and editor with 12 years' professional experience working with words, especially medical ones. I refuse to compromise on quality despite the daily time pressures my clients and I face. Highly attentive to detail and perceptive of how individuals communicate, I help my clients get their message across in the form of polished writing that preserves their voices and saves them time. I started out as a writerly "jack of all trades," but medical writing has become my professional calling. My primary professional activity for the past 12 years has been preparing and editing medicolegal reports on behalf of all kinds of health professionals. Other experience working with words includes proofreading doctoral dissertations, producing video script copy as part of a large marketing project for one of Canada’s largest real estate investment trusts, and transcribing interviews for various clients who have included graduate students, healthcare institutions, healthcare professionals, professors, and a book author.

I have written three books, and my reports and articles have been published in both English and Persian media.
My journalism career spanned a decade in India, working with top business publications as a full-time journalist. I transitioned to freelancing and consultancy roles after the birth of my first child. During this period, I also served as a corporate investigator for U.S.-based private equity and venture capital firms, focusing on their Indian investees. I am also proud to share that I have been an active member of a vibrant community of over 400 women in India, spearheading various initiatives for women and child development as a Change Leader. Despite the initial hurdles related to the ‘Canadian experience’ that employers look for, I have been actively involved with New Canadian Media and other international platforms as a freelance journalist. My work is complemented by side projects in content creation and community marketing. While the details above give a glimpse into my background, I’m pleased to share some notable achievements and experiences: During the devastating Kerala floods in 2018, I was part of a 12-member team that operated remotely, coordinating with the armed forces. We successfully facilitated the rescue of 9,500 individuals, bridging the language barriers and orchestrating efforts between the rescuers and those in dire need. I represented the Change Leaders community at the Women Deliver conference in Vancouver in May 2019, an opportunity extended by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. My journalistic endeavors in Canada over the past year have been centered on South Asian diaspora developments, leading to significant stories breaking into the mainstream. I’ve reported on the groundbreaking inclusion of caste as a category of discrimination by the city councils of Burnaby and Brampton. Additionally, I was the first to cover Canada’s strategic deployment of a third warship to the Indo-Pacific Region. The topics I tackle are often at the center of heated debates, such as anti-caste sentiment and allegations of Hinduphobia, each with its staunch advocates and opponents.
