Nicole Khamis graduated in 2017 from the University of Michigan with majors in International Studies and Middle Eastern and North African Studies. During her time as a student, Nicole founded the Michigan Refugee Assistance Program, a nonprofit organization which serves to utilize students as resources for recently resettled refugees during the global refugee crisis. In her first year as a post-graduate, Nicole was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship, and lived in Jordan while working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees as a teacher. During her time in Jordan, Nicole also interned with the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), where she worked as a translator and legal intern. With these experiences and exposures to the injustices and structural inequalities refugees face, Nicole hopes to go to law school in the near future and specialize in Refugee and Asylum Law. Currently, Nicole is a volunteer at the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan.
