🧭Where are you from, originally?
I was born in Somalia and moved to the US when I was 3.

⌚How long have you been with NACMBCS?
I started on March 7th, 2022. 

💙What's your favorite thing about your job?
I love the event planning I get to do!

🙄What's your biggest pet peeve?
When people chew their gum loud. Gross!

🍦What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
That's a hard choice, either Coffee or Pistachio.

🤷‍♀️What's one thing most people don't know about you?
My brother and I would race camels on my grandfather’s farm in Somalia. 🐫🐪
