Biography
Tina was born in Iran, spent her childhood in Sweden, and moved to Canada as a teenager. The immigrant experience sparked a fascination for different languages, cultures and helping others. As a result, Tina is deeply committed to building strong communities that celebrate diversity and inclusivity for all.
Like most educators, Tina has held various positions in a wide variety of settings: language instructor and camp counselor in the Swiss Alps; homeroom and physical education teacher in San Francisco; 5th-grade teacher in Madrid; and now a middle school teacher in Toronto.
In her free time you can usually find Tina outdoors enjoying hikes, bike rides or playing on my co-ed soccer and basketball teams.
