News & Updates: Introducing Our New Intern Kiana

Kiana Ranjbaran – Programs Intern

Rumi’s poetry has been a part of Kiana’s life for many years – connecting her to her Persian heritage. Kiana is working closely with Dr. Enteshari to create a Rumi e-course. She has also taken over writing the Rumi in the World section of our Monthly Newsletter. Kiana is currently studying Biopsychology at UC Santa Barbara with the plan to continue her education in depth psychology and mythological studies. She hopes to use this knowledge in either clinical practice or to progress research and teach others. She chose an internship with REC because it will allow her to share Rumi's wisdom and love with the community, and to form a deeper relationship with it herself.

Kiana will be working closely with Fariba on the development of our programs. She has also begun writing our Rumi in the World section from our Newsletter.
