In this episode, we speak with Semran Thamer, a recent graduate of the NYU public health undergraduate program. We learn about his background as an Iraqi immigrant to the United States and the social needs of immigrant populations. He discusses his experiences through this lens and how it inspired him and a group of other NYU students to design a social services app called “SocioConnect” which helps low-income individuals connect to various social service needs.
