Staff

The Refugee Well-being Project has a large team of interpreters, community advisors, and staff members who all work together to run the project.

Our team of experienced interpreters come from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Burundi, Egypt, Iran, Democratic Republic of Congo and more. They provide interpretation in Dari, Pashto, Persian, French, Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Arabic and more. Many were once refugees themselves and some were even past participants in RWP.

We have a Community Advisory Council that meets bi-monthly to discuss various areas of the program. The advisors also represent various agencies working with refugees in Albuquerque, past participants, and other experienced individuals. We also have representatives from all of the nationalities we work with.

Our staff members consist of researchers, Psychologists, Anthropologists, Sociologists, past students and participants, ESL instructors, and refugee community leaders.
