Creating a safe space through support and guidance.
Tamkin immigrated to the United States alone in 2021, leaving her parents behind in search of safety and opportunity. For two months, she navigated refugee camps from Qatar to Germany eventually settling in Virginia then Colorado. This experience gave her a deep appreciation for the human spirit’s resilience and its capacity to evolve in the face of difficulty. Tamkin has held leadership roles and was involved in programs such as Yale Young Global Scholars, Windy Peak Outdoor Lab and the Asian Pacific Development Center. She hopes to use her education to drive meaningful change and advocate for young Afghan immigrants and women across the globe.
