She grew up in Beirut, Lebanon and graduated from Cornell University in May 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in human biology, health, and society. Nadia’s experiences of working with Syrian Refugees and underprivileged communities have made her passionate about global health and health policy. As a future physician, she hopes to integrate those fields into her career and work towards combating health disparities both at the local and global level.
