Engaged with LE•O since the beginning, Mai has been an invaluable mentor and advisor to our incoming students.
With a degree in Special Education from Brigham Young University, Mai Zaru returns to Palestine once more to serve as an educator and endorsed teacher for English Language Learners at The Ramallah Friends School. With her ongoing efforts to serve as an educator, Mai believes that her continual education aids in promoting self-advocacy through a student-oriented coaching lens.
As a Palestinian female, she aspires to focus on low-income families and destitute refugees who are unanchored by the simplest of privileges, helping them to read, write, and speak. Mai currently resides in Ramallah while pursuing her graduate studies in Reading and Literacy at the University of Florida.
