Zahra Sakkejha

Born and raised in Toronto to Palestinian parents, Zahra graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Western University in Canada and has spent the last decade of her professional career in the commercial genomics space, leading teams in support of expanding access to genetic information that can save lives. She loves being a cheerleader for women to realize their fullest potential, and, as an eternal optimist, believes that curiosity without judgment can be liberating for both the listener and the speaker. Zahra currently lives in Los Angeles and decompresses by practicing yoga, painting portraits, and going for long walks in the California sunshine.
