Teaching Statement

My interest has evolved to focus on the concept of experience in relation to the body, using a diverse range of media—including drawing, object-based installations, and performance art.

I have focused on wax carving and wearable sculpture when i was in Iran at my studio, primarily with Silver, Brass, Bronze, and Copper and recently with Steel. Currently, As a gratuate student I teach Introduction to Jewelry at the McMaster College of Visual Arts and Design in Columbia, SC.

Throughout my experience, I have focused on creating a supportive and inclusive classroom where students feel empowered to explore their interests and engage in critical dialogue. I am passionate about fostering an environment where students are not only learners but also active participants in their educational journey. My teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that every student possesses unique talents and perspectives, and it is my responsibility to cultivate these strengths and ideas while guiding them toward their own pathway. 

Feedback from students plays a crucial role in shaping my teaching practice. By actively listening to their concerns, I have adapted my approach to create more meaningful learning experiences, as I view teaching as a collaborative endeavor.
