Halah Ahmad
Halah has an MPP from the University of Cambridge, and an honors degree in comparative religion and sociology from Harvard. Her diverse, Palestinian-American upbringing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin led her to research Milwaukee's segregation, and work on minority outreach in the Russ Feingold Senatorial Campaign. As President of the Harvard Islamic Society, she led joint efforts to onboard Harvard's first full-time Muslim chaplain. While Halah's ongoing focus is affordable housing, her wide-ranging work experience has taken her from Milwaukee and Chicago to the West Bank, Albania, Greece, and, most recently, Berlin, with International Rescue Committee. Halah also loves studio and digital arts and playing tennis.
