Major: Political Science

Congressional Office: Rep. Greg Casar

Description: My name is Nafisa Hafidh, and I'm a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University who earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Within my major, I have a concentration in International Relations because, in efforts to advocate for better international policy approaches, we have to understand the relationships we've built. I am currently a JD candidate. I'm passionate about learning, strengthening culture, and advocating for what's right, especially (but not exclusive) to black and brown individuals. It's important to develop and maintain long-term justice, and I plan to execute this through inclusion and support for underrepresented communities because continually our multiplex systems work against minorities.
