She has worked for years at local organizations with refugees from Syria and Palestine on programs that enable and promote better livelihoods. Sarah studied psychology and political science at Haigazian University, and received two scholarships to study abroad at the University of Vienna and Temple University in Philadelphia where she joined other curious minds from around the world to learn more about human rights, cultural studies, international law, migration, and other social sciences that shape many of her views today.
