Forough Tamimi

My name is Forough Tamimi. In my career, I have often worked as a teacher, researcher, journalist and translator. I consider reading and writing to be sacred pursuits and my personal passion; they give me both satisfaction and a sense of well-being. Besides working as a teacher in Iran, I have worked in the Netherlands as a researcher, journalist, web editor and translator. From 2006 to 2023, I was active in various agencies such as the Ministry of Social Affairs, the World Broadcasting Service, VPRO and Radio Zamaneh.
