She was also listed by the San Jose Mercury News as a “Woman to Watch” in March 2017 for Women’s History Month\, as well as by the Chronicle of Philanthropy in their January 2018 cover story on millennials who lead. \n​ \nShe is currently a fellow with the American Leadership Forum’s Silicon Valley Chapter and an alumna of Rockwood’s Fellowship for a New California\, LeaderSpring’s Executive Directors Fellowship\, and USC’s American Muslim Civil Leadership Institute. Zahra earned her undergraduate degrees from the California State University\, Long Beach\, and her Juris Doctorate from the University of California\, Hastings.
