Roshanak Khadem: Stories of Resilience, Family, and Starting Over
Welcome. This is the personal blog of Roshanak Khadem, known to family and friends as Roxy, a Sherman Oaks-based mother, caregiver, and medical aesthetics business owner who came to the United States from Tehran in 1985. After studying biology and biotechnology at California State University, Northridge, she built a career grounded in patient care, ethics, and genuine human connection. Here, she writes honestly about the experiences that shaped her.
This blog returns again and again to one central idea: that rebuilding a meaningful life takes both accountability and compassion. Roshanak brings a perspective that's hard to manufacture, earned through years of caregiving, entrepreneurship, and personal growth rooted in faith and family.
