Nisreen Atta has been working up to 40 hours per week in the emergency department at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center while studying at UWM to become a nurse.

She helped organize an event that provided over 100,000 food packs and hundreds of clothing items for Syrian and Somali refugees. She’s accepted a job as a nurse after graduation in the St. Luke’s emergency room.
