Sarah Syed is an MPH student in the Department of Global Health Systems and Development. In early 2012, she returned from serving in Jordan for the Peace Corps. In Jordan, Sarah worked as a youth development volunteer at a girls’ youth center where she focused her attention on the health issues that the women in her community were facing. Through various workshop series on reproductive health and family planning as well as weekly nutrition and fitness classes, Sarah culminated her experience by creating the first women’s health and fitness center in her small village. She is interested in pursuing program design work in the Middle East focusing on reproductive health and family planning.
A Massachusetts native, Sarah graduated in 2008 from the University of Massachusetts- Amherst with a degree in Political Science and English literature. Her hobbies include spinning, yoga, reading, and spending time with her adorable nieces and nephews.
