From project management to coalition-building and organizational development, Ghazal’s career has spanned both global and domestic advocacy spaces and remained firmly rooted in social and racial justice. At Vote Mama, Ghazal supports the big-picture strategic development and the daily operations of the organization’s people operations work. Prior to joining our team, Ghazal has supported several organizations as they work to scale out their operations and expand their presence. Previously, as Director of Special Projects for The League — a social impact firm focused on elevating culture and narrative change strategies — she supported the organization’s growth and structural development. In 2016, she was lead Project Coordinator for the We Won’t Wait Campaign, a coalition of national organizations spotlighting women’s and economic security issues in the lead up to the presidential election. Anchored by a large-scale voter engagement program and a two-day national summit, the campaign engaged over 3 million people in 31 states and created a platform for women of color and low-income women. Ghazal is a graduate of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, where she received an M.A. in International Policy Studies and an M.B.A. in International Economics and Business Development, as well as a B.A. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in Political Science. She lives in Maryland with her husband, daughter and pup.
