She received her comparative degree in Bachelor of Arts from University of Toronto and has been working as a Language Specialist in Toronto. She received vocal training in Iran and Canada.

She has continued her singing journey under the instructions of Jennifer Tung from Royal Conservatory of Music in choir and solo singing.
