I study 'Software Engineering' (M.Sc.) part-time at Kellogg College, Oxford University - www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk & my thesis is on cyber-security at www.bic.org, a UN affiliated faith-based NGO. I am currently an 'affiliate scholar' at www.eastwestcenter.org at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, in Honolulu, from 28th October 2011 for 10 months, as well as doing volunteer and other project work with NGO's & non-profits, including www.educationunderfire.com. I previously studied 'International Politics & Computer Science' as an undergraduate at Keele University, UK - www.keele.ac.uk & an M.A. in 'The Chinese Business World' at SOAS, University of London - www.soas.ac.uk. I have approx. 15 years working experience, including teaching, IT & with both for and non-profit organizations, including 7 years living in China. I also recently spent 1 year in Mexico in 2010/11 as a Wheat Atlas intern/consultant at www.cimmyt.org. I speak intermediate Chinese & Farsi, basic Spanish and enjoy traveling, drumming, singing, swimming/scuba diving, audiobooks & playing football/tennis & with gadgets, including mobile device/social media/pod & vod-casting projects. I am a vegetarian and a member of the Baha'i Faith (www.bahai.org), for which I strive to actively participate in community development (please feel free to contact me if you you'd like to learn more about the Baha'i Faith). A British-born Citizen of Persian descent & US permanent resident, I'm in the process of arranging to teach at university level in Honolulu & online, do freelance work (also, contact me for collaboration/projects) and also applying to start Ph.D. study for Fall 2012. I look forward to hearing from/connecting with you! :)
