NORA ABDULJAWAD (SAUDI ARABIA)

"I am a third year Neuroscience major working on a double major in International Development Studies. Born and raised, except for the first six years of my life when I lived in the US, in Saudi Arabia, I definitely got the full Arab experience. I am grateful to have found within ΕΑΣ a home away from home and a means of keeping in touch with the most central part of my identity. Professionally, I am passionate about education and issues related to diversity and intercultural awareness. I aim to one day teach at the undergraduate level and conduct research in my pursued fields of study. I hope to continue to bring the genuine sisterhood and cultural empowerment that ΕΑΣ has provided me with to more Arab women both at UCLA and across the nation."
