About Ashraf Saad

I oversee the employment program at my local office, supporting clients with employment services, service plans, benefits navigation, advocacy, case management, and community engagement. I build partnerships, manage outreach, and ensure programs run smoothly. I assist clients navigating legal and immigration processes, connecting them to educational opportunities and providing need-based support. My experience also includes leadership roles, teaching and tutoring, research, and academic work across programs and countries. I hold a graduate degree in International Relations and am multilingual.
