In 2022, I hold certifications in Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment (OHSE), Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), Biosafety Awareness, and Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety.
In 2022, I was awarded the University of Victoria Graduate Entrance Scholarship.
In 2021, I was honored to receive the Ghanimat Azhdary Memorial Scholarship from the University of Guelph.
"We tragically lost our beloved colleague, Ghanimat Azhdari, on flight 752 as it left Tehran on January 8, 2020. Ghanimat began her Ph.D. studies at the University of Guelph with Dr. Faisal Moola in biocultural conservation in September 2019. She was a student researcher with the Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership and was a much respected emerging young scholar. Ghanimat was a proud member of the Qashqai tribe in Iran and a powerful and passionate young leader, at the international level, in advancing the rights of Indigenous Peoples. She was a founding member of UNINOMAD, a civil society organization that represented Iran’s Nomadic and Tribal Peoples and helped negotiate International conservation agreements that advanced Indigenous biocultural knowledge as part of the Conservation on Biological Diversity policy processes."
