Off campus, Amna volunteered at her local refugee resettlement agency and interned for the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit, the Enabling Peace in Iraq Center. In her free time, Amna enjoys participating in community-based cultural events, attending public lectures, meeting new people, and “frolicking” under the sun with her friends and family.
