Eden Nasher (he/they) is a graduate student at Chaminade University of Honolulu. He is deeply passionate about serving queer youth and emerging adults from Black, Indigenous, Pacific Islander, Hawaiian, and other communities of color. With over 10 years of experience in education, Eden's expertise stems largely from his work managing college-bound programs at the University of California, Berkeley, where his efforts focused on accessibility, representation, and DEI initiatives. Eden has lived and worked with diverse youth groups in South-West Asia, North Africa, Southern California, and the Bay Area. He holds a BA in anthropology and a minor in psychology from the American University in Cairo and is an alumnus of the Fulbright Program, where he researched the experiences of college students navigating liminal or in-between spaces. Through his doctoral studies, he hopes to explore the therapeutic potential of decolonial and altered states of consciousness as sites of meaning-making and transformation, particularly for those dwelling at the margins of dominant narratives.
