Siwaar is a health equity researcher and leader, with interests in community-engaged methods, maternal and child health, minoritized health disparities, and implementation science.
She graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University in May 2023 with triple majors in community health (highest thesis honors), biology, and Arabic language and cultural studies. There, she founded MARCH: Maternal Advocacy and Research for Community Health, the largest undergraduate student-run maternal health organization in the United States, as well as the Arab Maternal Health in Ohio Study, the first qualitative maternal health assessment among Arab American mothers.
After graduation, Siwaar conducted extensive biomedical and public health research to further health equity, including at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard [Founder of Project MENA PEDIGREE: Middle Eastern or North African Progressing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Genetic Research, Education, and Empowerment], Tufts Medicine [Founder of Project INSPIRE: Improving New Somerville Parent and Infant Resiliency and Engagement], the Arab American Health Network Alliance (AAHNA), and the Rare Disease Diversity Coalition (RDDC).
Siwaar plans on training as a physician-advocate at Stanford, with research and health innovation serving as a necessary bridge between both roles.
