Description
-
Sarah is a first-generation American—she was born in the US but moved back to her parents’ homeland of Yemen at age five, and then she returned to the US as a teenager due to the Yemen Civil War. In America, she now attends Marquette University as a Clinical Lab Sciences major and aspires to become a physician’s assistant. She identifies as a moderately practicing Muslim hijabi woman and she enjoys volunteering in her community. She is married to a half-Mexican, half-Yemeni man who she loves, and she discusses her experience growing up with three brothers and her parents. She is extremely grateful for Marquette’s incredible faculty and staff and their help, but sometimes feels as though the Muslim and Arab communities can have a hard time feeling welcome in the university community.
