Golaleh Khosravi Kurdistani's Autobiography




Family
I was born in Sanandadj, Kurdistan, Iran, in 1977, in an educated family. Both mother and father are highly social and charity activists. My father also is a Medical Doctor, expert in Interior diseases. Both maternal and paternal families are from a high ranking social class i.e. My mother's father had the first Official Documents' Registration Office in our town and he was able to speak in five languages. I'm very proud of my ancestors.
In 2004, I got married an artist. He is a painter; graphist and cinema director. He is very noble and creative. I am also proud of him.

Education
I have studied all elementary, secondary and high school courses in my homeland. I started studying English in private institutes when I was 10 and I got EFL's diploma (English as a Foreign Language) when I was 17.
I left my homeland in 1995 to study in university in the field of Civil Engineering in Jahad Daneshgahi High Education Institute, Tehran. I graduated in 2000.
Again, according to my deep intention to language, literature and cultural issues, I started studying English Language and Literature in Alzahra University, in 2006.
I study French in a private institute in Tehran.

Social Activity
In 1999, while I was still studying engineering, with a group of friends and ideology-mates established a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) named Kardok science and research center. It is still successfully progressing toward its targets.

Professional Activity
I am a translator. I translate texts in Kurdish, Persian, English and French languages into each other.
My first official publication in public media was in 2005 as The Translator and English texts Editor in a semi-annual magazine named Mahaas (Islamic Art study).
Since then, I have done translations cooperatively with Shargh-journal, Iran-journal, Tandis magazine and Fadjr Music Festival....
Now, in addition, I have an official translation office named Jiar in Enghelab St., Tehran.
I have been recently teaching English language in NBE Iran-Mehr institute in Tehran.

Interests
I am intensively interested in red color. I enjoy Yoga and swimming. Listening to classic music refreshes me. My leisure time is spent in studying Myth, history, linguistics and literature. Watching interpretive literary films and going voyages make me satisfied. Having good and valuable friends is one of my honors in life.
