Biography
Coming to us from Kinshasa, Congo, Myriam is excited to serve as a resource coordinator! Once studying to become a biochemical engineer, Myriam found her calling connecting her Congolese kinsfolk to the community resources they need to succeed.
With her longtime experience as an immigrant and interpreter, our residents recognize her not as our newest member, but as an enduring friend. When she’s not living out her passion for providing support, advocacy, and solidarity on behalf of Seattle’s Congolese community, Myriam keeps her love flowing to her three kids!
