She is involved with several organizations around campus, serving as president of her class, peer mentor for incoming students, and Hospital Hill Liaison for the Muslim Student Association. Sameena also volunteers with Islamic Relief USA, Sojourner Health Clinic, and Kansas City Free Eye Clinic. She has previously spoken at a local NAACP banquet and at her school's National Walkout against gun violence. Sameena enjoys spending time with friends, family, and a good book. She strongly believes in the power of community engagement, comprehensive representation, and learning.
