Fereshteh Nikkhah, a social activist, social worker is a proud mother of two children; who always wished that she had a fuller house.
Social work and being available to extend a helping hand has been a second informal career for Fereshteh. She is a math lover by aptitude and holds a university degree in Mathematics.
After emigrating to Canada with her family, Fereshteh was faced by many issues and challenges in her resettlement process and soon realized that she was not alone. These challenges planted the seeds for her to navigate and land on a field of interest to pursue additional formal training that lead her also to a new career path.
Social service has finally become a passion as well as a vocation for Fereshteh. Her work at various shelters, especially when she is assigned to work with disenfranchised youth, has only made her more determined to not only provide a good service to her clients but also be a great advocate for their rights.
Fereshteh has since received additional qualifications as a Life Coach, which she puts it to practical use to empower people she works with enabling them to navigate the turns and twists of their life with affirmation and success.
Fereshteh’s multitudes of tireless contributions to I2CRC communities are well utilized and much appreciated. Her passion for community service is priceless!
