Being a Palestinian who grew up in Jakarta and Amman and is now living in the U.S., Petra Salamah has been exposed to a wide set of perspectives that have shaped who she is as a person. Before coming to Cornell, she studied and worked in Houston, Texas. Since graduation, she has been directly involved in designing affordable housing in Houston.
