Her cousin Fatemeh Ghasemi has served as a coach of the Iranian women's national karate team. Her sister has also worked as a coach in the sport. (razminews, 03 Apr 2021; khabarvarzeshi, 27 Nov 2018)

She took up karate at age four, learning the sport from her mother and her cousin Fatemeh Ghasemi. (khabarvarzeshi, 27 Nov 2018)

She grew up in a sporting family. She decided to focus on kumite over kata after becoming a member of the Iranian national team. "Before joining the national team, I trained and competed in both events, but when I reached the national team, I entered a competition in kata and kumite and became a champion in both. I was immediately told that I had to choose one of them, so after consulting with my coach I chose kumite." (gilkhabar, 12 Sep 2019; khabarvarzeshi, 27 Nov 2018)

Her sister, and coach Fatemeh Ghasemi. (gilkhabar, 12 Sep 2019)

"When I enter the tatami for a fight, I do not pay attention to the names and medals of my opponents and only think about winning, so I attack boldly and without fear and take points from my opponents." (khabarvarzeshi, 27 Nov 2018)
