Question: What about your upcoming trip to Kenya are you most looking forward to?
Answer: I am most looking forward to seeing the process for the project we have been working on. Sometimes just talking about it and working behind the scenes makes it hard to picture the goal, and I think being there and being with the team will help with that.
Q: What do you hope to do after graduation?
A: I hope to become a military physician assistant and to continue to improve my Arabic skills by working with refugees.
Q: What are you involved in outside of your studies? Can you tell us more?
A: I am on the club volleyball team and on the executive board because I love playing sports. I am also on the leadership team for a club called New Neighbors Project where we are paired with refugee children in the Durham area and form a sibling-like relationship with them by visiting regularly. Lastly, I am a resident assistant and help with new freshman adjusting to campus, and I work at the gym on East Campus.
