Maria Mustafa
High School Co-Researcher from Binghamton High School (Fall 2023, Fall 2024)
Maria Mustafa is a Binghamton High School senior. Her hometown is Binghamton, New York, where she was born and raised. Maria is active in her community, serving as president of the Environmental Club, Sisters 4 Sisterz, and Student Council, as well as secretary of the National Honor Society. Not only did she participate in a highly competitive opportunity within our country known as the National Student Leadership Congress, but during her time in DC with the NSLC, she advocated for first-generation students because her parents immigrated to America from Kurdistan, and she is very grateful to be able to attend school and pursue her dreams because her parents did not have the same opportunity.
In her free time, you can find Maria at her local mosque, helping the youth and volunteering in any way she can. Maria enjoys reading and painting, as well as playing lacrosse.
