Upon relocating to Canada, Khatereh enrolled at McGill University to pursue a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), receiving a scholarship for my studies. However, family responsibilities made her pause her education and move to the Peace Region in 2014.

Outside of her professional life, Khatereh enjoys listening to true crime podcasts, watching documentaries, and spending quality time with her family. She has a passion for cooking and baking and love to travel, especially to explore the countryside and small villages. She an avid reader, and counts Dr. Gabor Maté as her favourite author, and Khatereh admires Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her tireless advocacy for women’s rights.

She sincerely wishes to see a world free from human suffering, where every person lives in harmony, embracing peace and compassion as the foundation of our shared humanity.
