More about me

I am a first generation student, born and raised in Eritrea. I am passionate about learning deconstructing historic racism towards minorities, In the future I hope with my work ethic, passion, and wanting to build a better world I can help lead a change.   

Career goals

Looking to build stability in lower-income households and communities that have been historically under-served and under-valued: I inspire to become a lawyer as-well run a non-profit organization. Or become a government affairs employee in a field that empowers the voice of the unheard.     

Hobbies

I enjoy playing competitive soccer and watching the Priemer league. I also enjoy reading historical books as-well watching documentaries on historical figures.

Notable academic challenge

Everyone experiences challenges in different forms. My Academic challenge comes in the form of failing Math 124 my first quarter at the UW. However, we must not let failures keep us retained so one thing I learned was to simply retake the class and try your absolute best.
