Rangineh Kalhor is a charge nurse at Aftenro senior care in Duluth. Kalhor has a degree in physics and math from Iran, but with limited English skills when she moved to Duluth in 2017, she started in housekeeping at Aftenro. She's since become a CNA and LPN, and next year is going to back to school to become a registered nurse.
