Sarah Omer is a rising senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Global Social and Economic Development specific to the African continent. She studies Interdisciplinary Studies because it allows her to explore various aspects of development and the causes of "underdevelopment" in "third world" countries. Through her customized major, Sara accounts for the social, economic, health, business, political, environmental and any other factors that contribute to a state's development and wellbeing. She is interested in the way people define their identities and how identities have come to change over time for different groups of people. She was born and raised in Khartoum, Sudan and hopes to one day go back and work in her hometown.
