Amir Hashemian

Student and Artist in Melbourne

Who am I? My name is Amir and I was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to Australia at the age of 5. I was very outgoing as a kid, and I'm almost certain I got bullied but because I didn't understand English it didn't affect me and now it's a funny story to look back on. I guess ignorance is bliss.

My passions and hobbies all stem from my childhood. Curiosity has always been a value that has pushed me since a kid. It's through that where I picked up my favorite hobbies, which are mostly creative outlets. I always had a passion for art, music, and sport. So as I grew up I dibbled and dabbled in all these areas and now they are my favorite activities to partake in. I enjoy playing sports, mainly soccer, drawing and painting, and also making music.

In terms of education, currently, I am enrolled in Deakin, studying Business. I am currently in my second year and I find it very intriguing as I enjoy learning about this field. On the side of this, I work at McDonald's' as a Crew Trainer where I have learned a lot and also received a certificate in Retail.
