Summary

• I am a Palestinian physician and public health activist born and raised in East Jerusalem. I moved to the US for medical training, graduated from Yale School of Medicine in 2008 and completed residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California San Francisco. I then pursued a fellowship in Family Planning and Global Women's Health at Brigham and Women's Hospital and my Master of Public Health from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2013. In 2014, fulfilling a life long dream, I joined MSF (Doctors Without Borders) and have since completed 6 surgical missions in Sierra Leone, Lebanon, Cote D'Ivoire, Iraq and for more than a year in Afghanistan. I currently work clinically in high-risk obstetrics in the Bronx, NY with a research focus on reducing severe maternal morbidity and mortality. I am a proud member of the the MSF-USA board of directors as a way to exercise participatory leadership, uplift and amplify the voices of patients and global staff in the medical humanitarian movement.
