Nima Homami

Nima lived most of his life in New Jersey and then found a home in Illinois in the last four years. His parents immigrated here from Iran 23 years ago, so he also identifies that country as part of his “home ground,” which he hopes to return to in the long term. He studied agricultural economics at the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign and earned his bachelor’s degree last year. Nima says his experience with cleaning up large datasets for a former professor is pretty relevant to many repetitive but still essential and attention-demanding tasks he works on at TLI. He will start a Master’s in Applied Economics at Cornell in the fall.
