Mahshid Mirmoezzi was born in Qazvin, Iran in 1962. She attended University of Essen, Germany from 1985, obtaining a degree in environmental engineering. She returned to Iran in 1993.

Her career as a translator began with Ruth Berlau's Brechts Lai-Tu in 1998. In 2002, her translation of Irvin D. Yalom's When Nietzsche Wept was published.[3]

In 2013, she published her translation of Pascal Mercier's Night Train to Lisbon, for which she won the Parvin Award.[2][4] Iran does not recognize various international copyright accords, but Mirmoezzi received permission from the author before she translated it.[1]
