Dear John,

We have exciting news!!  We are thrilled to introduce you to our next Executive Director, Dr. Sharmin Dharas!  Sharmin is a graduate of our 2017 Emerge NM class.  She has served as the Executive Director of Emerge Arizona for the past two years, therefore brings two years of experience in running an Emerge program with her.   

Please join us on March 27th to meet her and the incredible women who make up our 2020 class!

Dr. Sharmin Dharas is the former executive director of Emerge Arizona. Dharas brings years of experience in nonprofit management and advocacy work to Emerge New Mexico. An alumna of Emerge New Mexico's 2017 class, she has experienced the organization’s signature program firsthand.

Dharas is a first generation American, the first in her family to attain a college degree and the first Muslim-American executive director of Emerge Arizona. A medical doctor, Dharas became passionate about health care at a young age. Dharas founded a nonprofit organization, Enhancing Higher Education, which took nursing students from America to her parents’ native country of Tanzania and helped train local first responders and medical staff in basic first aid and CPR. Recognizing dysfunctions and disconnects in the medical world, Dharas has worked within many health organizations to enable better healthcare access, empower women and create awareness of Muslim-American women in today’s society. Her diverse background has allowed her to recognize key issues that we face today, and hers is a voice for young generations who aspire to the American dream.  Dharas is a graduate of Xavier University School of Medicine and is currently studying for her Masters at Harvard University Kennedy School of Government.
