Bio
Nadiah Loutfi
Sonia and I both worked for Arab American Family Services. We worked for separate departments but Sonia's eagerness to learn always landed her in a different department, leading or co leading a new project. Sonia's insight was very helpful resulting in some the most successful mental health workshops our employer has provided to the community. She was always a reliable source when help was needed. Sonia was able to adapt to any setting at any given time which is why I believe she is successful in any field she is in. It is an honor to be able to work with and learn from Sonia new skills I can use for a lifetime.
