About Aima Raza

I'm a student at Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations with a strong interest in how international labor policy, migration, and ethics intersect. Alongside my coursework, I'm building language and regional fluency in Spanish, Arabic, and Near Eastern Studies. As a Laidlaw Scholar, I'm currently participating in a decolonial ecopedagogy project in the Ecuadorian Amazon, an experience that's deepening my commitment to sustainable and justice-centered diplomacy. I'm working toward a career in the Foreign Service, where I hope to shape policy that protects vulnerable communities and promotes equity across borders.
