About
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a Master of Science in Health Education and Health Promotion, both of which were fully funded. My academic journey was marked by success, as I was ranked among the top 5 students in the country for Health Education intake in 2020. With a strong foundation in public health and a specialized focus on health education, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the field. Currently, I work as a Family Health Expert, where I manage a variety of duties aimed at improving family health and well-being. This role allows me to apply my knowledge in public health to real-world situations, making a meaningful impact on the communities I serve. Outside of work, I am passionate about hiking, which helps me stay connected with nature and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I also have a deep love for music, particularly playing the electronic guitar, which serves as a creative outlet and a way to unwind. My combination of professional expertise and personal passions drives me to continuously grow both in my career and personal life.
Research Interests
I am interested in a wide range of topics that contribute to human health promotion. However, my experiences in these areas include:
- Preventive and primary care research
- Policy Innovations for Child Health Equity
- Women’s and children’s health
- Health Technology and Policy Frameworks for Childhood Cardiovascular Risk
- Remote Cardiac Monitoring Technology for Underserved Communities
- Telecardiology Solutions for Bridging Gaps in Rural Pediatric Cardiac Care
Work Experience
As the Family Health Officer at the Pardis Health Network, I am responsible for the following:

School health management and addressing the needs of Afghan migrants
Vaccination of children and providing neonatal care and nutritional support during pregnancy

Research Methodology
My master’s thesis employed a semi-experimental design, focusing on a sample of mothers to evaluate the effects of the intervention. I prefer working with large sample sizes to enhance the statistical power and generalizability of the findings.
I also enjoy working with models, which allows for a more structured analysis and a better understanding of the relationships between variables. I am skilled in statistics and research methodology, and my GPA in statistics during my master’s was 20 out of 20, ensuring greater reliability and validity in the results.
“Dear Dr. Faramarzi, I owe my life to you. I was on the brink of death, burning with fever, and no one could figure out that I had malaria—we never even expected it. I had given up on life and was ready to stop taking my medicine. But you took my situation more seriously than even my own family. Thank you for calling me every day and visiting me in my small, humble home. I pray that God gives you everything you wish for because you gave me my life back.”
