Greetings from Lamia, Assistant Program Director
Hello,
My name is Lamia Bouziane. I will be a leader for the Morocco fall semester trip.
My cultural heritage is Arab/Berber/ American. Half of my family is originally from Morocco. My father was born and raised in a small village named El-Menzel, near Fes. He married my mother who is American and then settled in the United States.
I was raised in the United States. Since my childhood I have traveled to Morocco during holidays to spend time with relatives. The introduction picture that I chose was taken in Agadir during my last visit to Morocco.
As a graduate of the School for International Training I am very interested in international education programs. This May I completed my Master’s in Sustainable Development. I spent part of my practicum at BRAC (Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee), where I conducted research on curriculum development. I also spent part of my practicum studying environmental issues through the Alaska Conservation Foundation internship program.
During this past year I have worked as a Capacity Builder Coordinator at Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council, and as a Contractor for refugee assistance programs in Alaska.
I look forward to getting to know you better in the coming months!
Best regards,
Lamia
