Description
Having grown up in a war-torn country and on air force bases as well as working in the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, Farnaz understands the effects of high-stress environments, especially for those in demanding careers. Her leadership roles and secondments to Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs) during crises gave her firsthand experience of the emotional toll these careers take, strengthening her ability to support military personnel, veterans, first responders, politicians, and their families as they manage stress, trauma, and life transitions.
