M.A. Student – Class of 2022

Citizenship: United States

I am from Los Angeles and graduated from the University of California, Riverside in 2020 with a degree in Global Studies and a minor in Arabic. I am also the Social Media Director of a nonprofit organization called Glocally Connected. Glocally Connected serves as an initiative to support refugee populations, globally and locally. My involvement in this organization inspired my interest in expanding my understanding of globalization. Through this program, I strive to gain first-hand experience from my colleagues and renowned scholars to use my work to help underserved communities.
