Bio

Hi! I'm Faiza, a third-year student at Sarah Lawrence College with a passion for public health, immigrant advocacy, and health equity. My work focuses on serving underserved communities in the Bronx, where I strive to make a meaningful impact through community work and community initiatives. I have experience in patient advocacy working with immigrant, uninsured, and unhoused populations, helping bridge gaps in accessing health resources and services through interpretation and health literacy. As a writer, I am exploring narrative medicine, where medicine and storytelling intersect through my internship with Pulse: Voices from the Heart of Medicine.
