Her Story
About Fahima
I am from Afghanistan, born and raised in Herat. I have a bachelor's in English literature and a master's in business management from Central Asia University. I worked with World Bank, Red Cross, USAID, and UN before arriving in the US in 2023. My passion for nutrition started during the pandemic in 2020, leading me to earn a scholarship at Beaumont College. Now in Southern California, I consult on holistic nutrition while working with refugees and planning to open my own practice.
