Please tell us a little bit about yourself. 

I am local to the PNW and a product of immigration — most of my family still lives in México. I am the first person in my family to pursue a graduate education. Academically, anthropology comes first, and my training as an anthropologist shapes how I see the world and approach my work.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself. 

I am a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip, raised in the Khan Younis refugee camp. Growing up there, I developed a deep sense of community, resilience, and compassion. This upbringing shaped my commitment to serving others and creating meaningful connections.
