Shamim Pourfarshomi Learn more about me

Hi! I’m Shamim. My heritage and passions shape who I am—I love making things and exploring culture, people, places, and food (and nutrition!). To me, learning is about connection, rooted in our experiences and what excites us. My endless curiosities make me a lifelong learner, always ready for new adventures and trying new things. The best part is sharing that journey together. Whether we’re diving into world traditions, crafting hands-on projects, or getting lost in epic stories, learning is everywhere—in what we love and in what we’ve yet to discover we love.

I am proud of the epic rock collection I've built over the years, and I absolutely love to DJ and dance!
