In 2009, she completed an assignment with the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in Washington, D.C. Her primary role at USCIRF was to assist in preparing the Commission's annual religious freedom and human rights report that serves as a major basis for foreign policy-making by the U.S. President and Congress. In 2011, she was requested to assist the delegation of the Bahá'í International Community at the 16th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. She also attended and reported on relevant public events and hearings, and was with USCIRF when the most recent attacks against the Bahá'ís in Iran commenced.[2]

Parsa is former Miss Teenage Laguna Niguel titleholder and a Miss Teenage California finalist. She was selected by WE Magazine for Women as a "2015 Woman on the Move".[3]

Parsa is the author/publisher of the children's book and interactive app, And So You Were Born.[4] The book app has reached the Top 100 position on iTunes charts in over 20 countries. Upon customer request, the app was then published as a print gift book version. The print book received a 2014 Moonbeam Children's Book Award.[5]

Parsa is co-editor of Legal Briefs on Immigration Reform from 25 of the Top Legal Minds in the Country. The book featured contributions from top lawyers and policymakers regarding their thoughts and suggestions on immigration reform.[6]

Parsa has appeared as a guest contributor on such shows as KMAX Good Day Sacramento,[7] WMCN-TV Philadelphia and Healthy Lifestyle with Eraldo.[8] Parsa served as co-executive and Chase Producer for the Deborah Interviews Show.

Parsa was Associate Producer of the 40 Point Plan,[9] a film about the dramatic change throughout the world due to implementation of a new business based on love.

Parsa has been hosting Soul Food, a monthly public event in Orange County providing inspirational readings and music, since 2010.

In 2013, Parsa was selected to serve as a member of the International Jury of the Plural + Youth Video Festival,[10] held by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

gollark: If you *do* somehow run out of memory, then the obvious solution is just to dynamically load Go into your process and have its garbage collector work on your data structures.
gollark: Also, `mmap` any file you need to read onto random pointers, since I heard `mmap` is fast.
gollark: You should also use osmarksmalloc™, as it's HIGHLY fast since it doesn't have to actually bother with maintaining records to deallocate anything.
gollark: `dale` isn't a daemon or anything, and won't run for very long, so it's more performant to just leak memory and leave it to the OS.
gollark: I think I made it segfault a few times.
