Vadood Ziroki

Biography

I grew up in Denver, and I have also lived in California and graduated from California State University, Fullerton. After graduating from university, I went to Georgia (the country) as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I taught English and lived in a small village named Vaka for 2 years during my time in the Peace Corps. After the Peace Corps, I worked as a college counselor at a private high school in Tbilisi for 3 years, helping students apply to universities in the US and Europe. That experience led me to Western as I moved back to the US in July 2022. I currently serve the Colorado counties of Baca, Bent, Cheyenne, Crowley, Custer, El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Huerfano, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Las Animas, Lincoln, Otero, Prowers, Pueblo, and Teller.
