She is a Masters of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) Candidate concentrating in Global Politics and Security (GPS) and pursuing a Certificate in Diplomatic Studies. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Government and International Studies with a minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Franklin and Marshall College, where she served as the Student Body President. Over the last few years, she has gained valuable experience working with the U.S. Department of Interior, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Department of State. Additionally, she is an alumnus of the David L. Boren Scholarship, Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship, Critical Language Scholarship, and the Obama-Chesky Voyager Scholarship, where she learned invaluable skills that shaped her commitment to public service. Her experience working at the Secretary’s Office for Global Women’s Issues (S/GWI) and research in Amman, Jordan, on honor-based femicide inspired her dedication to working on conflict-related sexual violence. As a first-generation college student, Muna is dedicated to supporting a community of inclusivity and equity. She is an MSFS Representative and the Co-President of Georgetown Women in International Affairs (GWIA). Muna is a Thomas R.

She hopes to serve her Muslim community, inside and outside of ISF, to empower the next generation of Muslim public servants domestically and globally.
