Roxanne graduated from UCSB with a BA in History. She plans on continuing her higher education, but in the meantime has become involved with 30 Years After, first as a Maher Fellow, and then as it’s Program Manager. She also volunteers her time as the Resident Historian of the Legacy Project. In March 2017, Roxanne launched an email newsletter called What I Wish I Knew (WIWIK), a forum for Iranian-Americans of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Each email newsletter has a personal essay from an Iranian-American: the goal is for the author to share what he or she has learned, so that the reader might do it better. WIWIK was launched with the hope that members of this tight-lipped community would not have to struggle through adversity, if they could hear how their peers handled similar situations.
