MEET THE CREATOR
Click here to see Creator of Discover DC Shaady’s Story: A Video from the Washington Post
Shaady has a serious and dangerous addiction to pedicabbing. She is a guide in Washington DC and certified 6th grade teacher. After graduating from University of Maryland with a bachelors degree in Education and Communications, she became a teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools.
After a traumatic accident that left her immobile for many months, the only thing she cared about was being able to ride her bike again. Learning to walk with 70 percent of her quadriceps resected was difficult but she worked hard at it and finally got it. Soon after her recovery, she was riding her bike 30-40 miles every day and that made her happy. It made her so happy that it was the only thing she ever wanted to do. Deciding to live an unconventional non-professional life, which was against her Persian parents’ wishes left them upset. “Our daughter used to be a 6th grade teacher, but now all she does is ride her bike! She doesn’t want to have a Real Job!” Her frustrated parents insisted that she go back to a desk job or something like that. Pshhhhhht.
Shaady refused to listen to her parents and instead pursued her passion of pedicabbing. Since she also had a passion for Washington DC and telling tourists stories of the city, Shaady decided to become a multi faceted octopus so that she can do both simultaneously. On her down time, Shaady designs funny presidential Discover DC Tours gear and sells them and other things on poshmark. Shaady really loves teaching so she gears many of the tours she offers towards learning and retaining important information for children, and teaching part time again. Although at one point, she was rolling around in a wheel chair, now she takes every advantage she has to be physically active. She believes herself to be a born again super woman. AND I LIKE DAT!
