Nahom Zerai

I was born and spent the first four years of my life in Yirgalem, Ethiopia, until my family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I spent the remainder of my childhood. Due to my upbringing, I am interested in both medicine and research in relation to the brain, more specifically, developing accessible avenues and technologies in these fields. I find much enjoyment in being active – playing sports, hiking, camping – with loved ones. I love staying active, whether that’s going to the gym, running, or playing guitar. With others, I like to do the same things, as well as watch sports. Outside of my professional goals, as an Ethiopian, I am passionate about long-distance running and training.
