Both my parents were studying at universities in America, my father in hospitality and my mother in aesthetics. Three years later, we moved back to Iran, where my father worked in the hotel for the Shah of Iran and my mother as an aesthetician.
The family then decided to move to Sydney, Australia, as a result of the Islamic revolution around 1981. It was not an easy task to leave Iran as the borders had been closed off, and the family had to be smuggled out of the country into neighbouring Afghanistan and then into Pakistan.
Being the child of Middle Eastern parents, it was drilled into my head from a young age that my objective should be to practise medicine.
This became my focus in life, and it was a great disappointment when I did not achieve the results required to enter medicine. However, there was a glimmer of hope as I was successful in acquiring the grade required for entry into medical science. I successfully completed my medical science degree in 1996 and attempted the GAMSAT exam for entry into medicine. For the second time in my life, I was extremely disappointed as I missed out on entry by a very narrow margin.view less
