Parisa has been a truly extraordinary mentor and coach who has helped me progress in my Master’s in Biomedical Physiology significantly. Not only has she been inspiring, but she has also helped me think like a scientist, plan experiments, and troubleshoot problems throughout my academic journey. Her immense support and patience have left a huge impact on my academic and personal journey. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with her and have her as a coach and mentor.
