Azadeh Pourzand
The past has piled up in my thoughts. The present is running faster than I can ever run. The future might have already happened and might be happening as we speak or might be waiting for the past to leave. All I know is that I have too much to say and that my thoughts and my experiences have been hesitating to turn into words. This blog is only an attempt to write, to talk, to tell, to narrate and to share.

About Me
- Name: Azadeh
A graduate of Master in Public Policy with a concentration in International and Global Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School of Government, I also recently received an International MBA in the Netherlands. Alongside my studies, I worked as a researcher and consultant on projects related to the prospects of reform in Iran, the impact of international development policies on the empowerment of women, children and education. Now, I continue to work as a researcher and consultant to internationally recognized foundations and institutions with regards to, broadly speaking, civil society in the Middle East and beyond. I currently live in the East Coast of the United States and travel frequently to Boston, NYC and Washington DC for work. In 2007, I received an Honors BA degree in Comparative Literature from Oberlin College in Ohio. Studying literature was not a random decision in my life as I believe in the power of words and the magic of narration and story-telling in reconciling with the trauma caused by tragic experiences in one's life. I was born and raised in Tehran, Iran and moved to the United States in the last year of high school.
