Romav Ali

A-Level Student

Romav Ali and her family arrived in Northern Ireland in February 2016 as refugees from war torn Syria. Since then, Romav has been an active member of her school and local community, winning the Ulster Schools U16 Gaelic Football championship with Aquinas Diocesan Grammar School and volunteering with the Northern Women Muslim Organisation and the NI Muslim Family Association. She recently won the Soroptimist public speaking competition for her powerful speech about war, being a refugee, and her journey from Syria to Northern Ireland. Romav is an A-Level student with the hope of studying medicine and becoming a doctor.
