Uzair Pasta is a First Generation Pakistani-American. He just recently graduated from El Camino College (ECC) where he got an associate in Business Administration and Economics with a focus on public policy. During his time at ECC, he served as the Associated Student Organization's Director of Finance, the Co-Captain of the Speech & Debate team, and the President of the Muslim Student Association, where he has advocated for students and underserved communities. His ultimate goal is to study International and Islamic law where he can support those who can not speak out for themselves, as well as provide legal literacy to his Muslim community. Currently, Mr. Pasta will be taking a Gap year where he will complete his religious studies by committing the entire Quran to memory and is set to transfer in the Fall of 2024. He hopes to incorporate empathy, compassion, and faith into his advocacy work.
