UP CLOSE UP AND PERSONAL WITH NOUSHIN YAZDANIPOUR
Tell us a little about yourself .
I have been working with the cybersecurity team at Vocus for just over 9 months as a Project Coordinator.
I came to Australia to study 12 years ago from Iran and have made Australia my home. I enjoy yoga and reading a wide variety of books including psychology and philosophy.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy working in a supportive working environment and love that there is an opportunity to learn, contribute and excel within the portfolio.
What is your favourite holiday destination?
My dream holiday destination is Costa Rica! Who would say no to the coastlines of the Caribbean with spider monkeys? 🙂
What is your favourite recipe/dish?
Having come from a Middle Eastern background there are many exotic dishes to enjoy. Tahchin is an Iranian rice dish primarily consisting of rice, yogurt, saffron, eggs and tangy barberries. Some versions of the dish are more elaborate, folding in chicken fillets, vegetables, fish, or red meat
Main ingredients: Rice, chicken fillet, yogurt, saffron, egg
