Saido Alinur

About Me
Saido left for the border of Somalia and Kenya in the early 1990s with her family, where they spent three years in a refugee camp located in Mombasa, Kenya. In 1993, she came to the US helping Somali families with interpretation, translation, filling out immigration papers and job applications in her free time, leading to her current work at Highline College as a Student Housing & Retention Services Program Manager. She began her career as a case manager at African Mutual Assistance Association in St. Louis, Missouri from 2000 to 2003 which gave her the ambition to pursue social work. Through hard work and dedication, she was able to graduate with a double major BAS in (Interdisciplines Social Science & Social Service) from Central Washington University.
