Layla is a first-year undergraduate student at the University of Tulsa. She is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and French Language with a focus on international relations through the Global Scholars program.

At TU, Layla proves a genuine knack for equality through her involvement in TU’s sexual violence prevention programming as well as her executive position in Tulsa Democrats, a club on campus that sponsors events to promote civic engagement. As the daughter of an Iraqi immigrant, Layla has a special interest in issues of immigration and international economic policy. In turn, Layla’s motivation to become a University Innovation Fellow stems from her belief in the private sector’s role in solving our greatest global challenges.

For fun, Layla enjoys studying art, music, and creative writing, often using her identity as a source of inspiration in her work. With her recent obsession with France and gastronomy, any conversations about food, coffee, or other French snobbery will be greatly received.
