Samir Tusneem, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Samir Tusneem is a senior at Green Hope, and Co-Editor in Chief for the Green Hope Falcon. In school, he enjoys math and english and is involved in a variety of clubs relating to different interests. Outside of school, he holds a passion for volunteering experiences, such as helping refugees and tutoring students for SAT English. Samir also participates in spikeball, tennis, and basketball, but at a, self-proclaimed, “mediocre level.” He likes going to movie theaters and would watch Knives Out again and again. Samir also enjoys spending time with friends and does this through editing newspapers outside of school for the Green Hope Muslim Student Association. He hopes these friends would describe him as studious, hardworking, and friendly. Finally, as a Co-Editor in Chief of the Green Hope Falcon, he hopes to be someone who can be approachable for writing advice, and who can help the program be as successful as it was last year.
