Zeina (She/Her) is a scholar-activist currently pursuing her PhD at McGill University, where she is researching environmental activism in the SWANA region. Prior to this, she completed her HBSc and MES at the University of Toronto, with a specialization in environmental sustainability. Zeina additionally draws from her lived experience as a Lebanese settler-Canadian and as a community organizer in the fight for climate justice.

Zeina is incredibly passionate about intersectional work around the decolonization of the climate justice movement. SWANA Climate Sirens, with its focus on intersectionality, decolonization, and Indigeneity, immediately drew Zeina to its mission. At Climate Sirens, Zeina co-leads the policy committee, directing and supporting policy initiatives among the team.

At Climate Sirens, Zeina hopes to leverage her unique privilege to bolster the underserved and overlooked voices of the Indigenous and local women of the SWANA region in the fight for a just future. Zeina is excited to move forward on the path to partnership, collaboration, and reconciliation through the amazing and like-minded team of SWANA Climate Sirens.
