Before becoming interested in education, Golnaz Arastoopour studied mechanical engineering and Spanish at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. While earning her bachelor’s degree, she worked as a computer science instructor at Campus Middle School for Girls. Along with a team of undergraduates, she headlined a project to develop a unique computer science curriculum for middle school students. She then earned her secondary mathematics teaching certification in New York City at Columbia University. Arastoopour then accepted a position teaching mathematics in the Chicago Public School system at Orr Academy High School, an AUSL school. Arastoopour is currently working on the Nephrotex project and is interested in how new technologies are effective and increase student engagement in STEM fields.
