Sara Safari is an author, speaker, mountain climber, college professor, Electrical Engineer and advocate for women empowerment. 
 
Sara was born in Iran and moved to the USA in 2002 to continue her education in electrical engineering. While teaching at California State University Fullerton, Sara met the founder of the Empower Nepali Girls foundation. She decided to climb Mt. Everest to raise funds and awareness for the girls who become victims of human trafficking or are forced into early marriage. She is now a board member and director of development of Empower Nepali Girls and she dedicated her book “Follow My Footsteps” to this organisation.
 
Sara will be the first Iranian in history to climb the Seven Summits, the seven highest peaks in each continent.
