 View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Mina TafazoliAbout Mina Tafazoli : I’m always striving to learn more; that may justify my never ending journey of education. I believe that learning is a lifelong process; not only in the field of one’s expertise but also through personal life/ as means of self-development.
Being a «big picture» thinker, I see things as a whole and at the same time I’m detail oriented, making me capable of zooming in and out, depending on the situation.
I’m quite strong at systematic thinking which makes me suitable for managerial positions where I can put my knowledge into practice. Due to my academic background, I’m also skilled in Research, Module design and Teaching.
