I am an Australian Immigration Lawyer (MARN 2518904) with a PhD from the University of Melbourne. Originally Persian-Canadian, I fell in love with Australia and now call it home. My journey into immigration began while working as a university lecturer. I often saw my students struggling with their future after graduation, or choosing the wrong course in hopes of securing PR. This inspired me to st

udy immigration law so I could guide them properly. Today, as an immigration lawyer, I also see many clients facing challenges in finding the right job. That is why I created this Job Bank Group ' a space designed to connect people with opportunities that match their skills and needs.
