Looking ahead, I am committed to working alongside our dedicated staff, partners, and supporters to ensure HIAS remains at the forefront of advocating for the most vulnerable and continuing to protect welcome.” Before joining HIAS, she served in executive roles in several international development and refugee resettlement agencies, including longtime partner of HIAS, Church World Service.
