Position: Communication Chair Hometown: Virginia, United States Major/Minor: Neuroscience/Public Health Future Plans: Seeking a Master's degree in Neuroscience Hobbies: Photography, Vlogging, Sketching, Learning Languages Fun Facts: I have a driver license but never drove after I got it. I speak Arabic with my family and mostly at home. I also learn other languages in my free time such as Turkish and Korean. I am also involved with Muslim Student Association, Student for Justice in Palestine, and the Flat Hat Photography team. Studying is important but what more is my mental health and well-being. So, to have some stress relief I take walk around campus and enjoy the nature. Hanging out with my friends for a movie night on a Saturday night makes the best of my week. A word of wisdom: Hello new people! I am so excited for your new journey here at William & Mary. I look forward to seeing you work on yourselves and create better communities together. Have fun on the way to success and compliment yourself every day for the hard work you achieve
