EXECUTIVE PROFILE :

Location : United States

Diversity is everyone ’ s responsibility , whether you are a founder , a recruiter , a hiring manager , a marketing or technical employee . We all need to work together to create an inclusive workplace !

I started Women Of MENA In Technology ( previously known as Persian Women In Tech ) in March of 2015 to create a sense of belonging for Iranians , Middle Eastern and North African Women In Technology ( STEM ). At a time where conversation of diversity and inclusion had started in Tech and minorities were recognized , sadly MENA communities were not included , and for me it was important to elevate these women ’ s voices , work and stories to make sure our current and next generation of diverse women entrepreneurs and technologists are inspired to achieve their full potential and break glass ceilings not just here in the US but globally without a doubt and dream their dreams but also take the first steps towards making those dreams a reality .

As a community we are stronger and can achieve more by inspiring , supporting , empowering , educating and motivating each other . My hope is that through our work , we can push for a tomorrow where we have closed the diversity and gender gap in STEM . www . technologymagazine . com
