Zahra is a JM staff of many talents and experiences. She serves as one of our Special Education teachers at JM, but prior to that worked as a paraprofessional in our school. Zahra is originally from Sudan, and came to the United States in 1999 with a double major in Arabic Language and Psychology and later received a Social Work degree in the US.
She shared that she most loves working with and helping people at her job, as that is within her nature. Zahra thinks people are surprised to realize that she has a great sense of humor and is very kind, as she doesn’t think people always perceive her that way. When Zahra is not working hard to help kids at school, she enjoys time alone cooking, educating herself on different topics, and listening to chanting.
