BIOGRAPHY

Souad Bazzi is a rising junior at Michigan State University, studying Prelaw
and Political Science with a minor in law, justice, and public policy.
Growing up as a first-generation Lebanese American from her hometown,
Dearborn, Michigan, Souad is deeply committed to inciting change in
areas such as immigration rights, reproductive freedom, and bottom-up
political advocacy.

With a background in a grassroots political campaign,
she gained experience in networking with a diverse range of people,
directing community engagement, and navigating the complexities of
local-level policy processes. Her ultimate goal is to pursue a career as a
public defender and, someday, the House of Representatives to be an
unwavering advocate for marginalized groups and the voice for the
underrepresented.

Outside of her academic endeavors, she enjoys yoga,
reading, and playing with her two goldendoodles. Souad was a recipient
of the Michigan Government Semester Program Scholarship for 2024.
