Her family immigrated to Canada in 1973 and switched from city to farm living. The farm was over one hundred acres of land with sixty machine-milked cows. Challenges were overcome by family support and cooperation. Parvaneh has taught piano, preschool, elementary school and presently, mathematics at the local secondary school. She and her family live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.view less
