Fatemeh Zahmatkesh

... a dedicated Sociology student at Memorial University with a strong interdisciplinary foundation. My academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Natural Resources Engineering from Guilan University in Iran, followed by a Master’s in Applied Ecology through the prestigious Erasmus Mundus program. This program allowed me to study at the University of Poitiers in France and the University of Coimbra in Portugal, where I was honoured to receive a full scholarship.

Before transitioning to my current studies in Canada, I founded and led an environmental NGO, where I spearheaded initiatives that combined ecological sustainability with community engagement. My passion for education also led me to a role as a lecturer at Guilan University, where I shared my knowledge and advocated for environmental and social causes.
