"Growing up in a war-torn country, I’ve always questioned my own
academic journey. This question has driven my research focus in trying
to understand the roles that family and sociocultural contexts play in
facilitating/impeding one's academic achievement. My passion is to explore the way in which intangible resources embedded in cultural values/social networks can be utilized to benefit struggling people."
