Amir Salar Bakhtiari
Student Mentor Team Lead
Salar has always been the go-to person not just for Student Mentors, but for anyone who needs help - whether it's a colleague struggling with a process, a student mid-exam, or a last-minute escalation that needs attention. He's constantly on the front lines: guiding our team, stepping in to support when things get hectic, and making sure everything stays aligned. His ability to juggle so many moving parts while staying calm and collected is something we all admire.
Salar doesn't just do his job - he makes everyone else better at theirs.
