I hold a master’s degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on New Packaging Technologies from LUT University, Finland, and another Master’s in Pulp and Paper Engineering from Iran. My career in the pulp and paper industry began in 2004, and today I work at Valmet Technologies in Finland, where I’ve spent the last six years involved in international start-ups, process optimization, and chemical system design. Working across different countries and cultures has given me a global perspective on both technology and teamwork.
I joined the mentoring program because I know how valuable guidance and support can be when shaping your career. Having faced challenges such as moving abroad, adapting to new technologies, and working in multicultural environments, I’d like to share my experiences to help students gain confidence, explore opportunities, and find their own path.
I hope to work with a mentee who is curious, open-minded, and eager to grow. Together, we can discuss career development, industry insights, and practical skills that prepare you for the future. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, playing tennis, and staying active through different sports, which helps me stay balanced and energized.
