“I was an athlete before I started dragon boat; I did karate for about 6 years and was a fighter. In 2014-2015, I started dragon boat as my main sport and started training with the Sokkan team. My coach is Mr. Sajjad Gharibi; he is also the Iranian national team coach. He has made big changes to both my athletic lifestyle and my general lifestyle; he makes me better every day and always keeps me looking forward.

My most memorable story was the 2017 IDBF World Championships in Kunming, China. I was there as a paddler on the Iranian national team.”
