A third-year medical student at Feinberg School of Medicine interested in pursuing a career in internal medicine with emphasis on public health, health disparities and intersectional representation. She attended Loyola University Chicago, where she majored in English and Biology and spent a year as an international research fellow in Italy and China. She is particularly interested in refugee/immigrant health as her parents immigrated to Canada as Iraqi refugees and spent a great deal of her teenage years volunteering with refugee families as a translator in the States. This prompted her interest in exploring disparities in coronavirus impact on refugee-dense countries through The Global SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance System-Policy Persistence and Transmission project in the Middle East and North Africa.
