Prior to becoming an attorney, Shirin worked in the music industry, first at a booking agency working with a number of touring bands, and then at a major record label in Los Angeles. Today, Shirin serves as a volunteer attorney for Colorado Attorneys for the Arts (CAFTA) and is a board member of the Boulder County Arts Alliance (BCAA). For fun, she enjoys going to live concerts and shows, gardening, snowboarding, travelling, and hiking year-round with her retired-racer greyhound.
