Silliman ‘22 |
I was born and raised in Hebron, Palestine until I was sixteen years old. I, then, moved to Changshu, China for two years to study at United World College of Changshu. Currently, I am proud to be the first-ever Palestinian undergraduate student at Yale University coming from Palestine. I am a sophomore at Silliman, double majoring in Economics and Political Science. I appreciate diversity, and I always seek to surround myself with a diverse group of people to continuously challenge myself intellectually and to learn adaptability. My sense of humor along with my strong Arabic accent makes me a confident communicator and a strong relationships builder in various environments. Outside class, I am a huge activist. I am involved in Student for Justice in Palestine and OneVoice. Through these two organizations I organize campaigns, protests and awareness sessions regarding the question of Palestine. I am also part of Havenly ( best baklava in New Haven – approved by all Arabs!), Yale Arab Association and UNICEF. On my free time, I like to play soccer, mix some music and engage in some cool consulting projects in the Middle East. Overall, I am very excited to work as a Student Organizations Consultant this year support all the student groups! |
