Since relocating to Oregon in 2017, she has remained actively involved in her community, serving on school committees and participating in the Inspire Network with Project Lemonade. Sobeyda is bilingual and has a strong passion for music. She plays trombone in both the symphonic and jazz bands. In her free time, she enjoys connecting with others, exploring nature, painting, and singing karaoke.
