Biography
Muslimah Williams was raised predominantly in Oberlin at the age of six but has also lived in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. She began her career as a teacher in the United Kingdom, specializing in secondary education for ages 11-19. She earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in religious education from Ashland University. She went on to complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at the University of Wolverhampton, concentrating in social sciences (psychology, sociology, and health and social care). Currently, she is working on her Master of Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
She is beyond thrilled to be a part of the Oberlin community; it has been a lifelong ambition to work at this beautiful campus and support students to the best of her abilities, ensuring equity and advocacy.
In her spare time, Williams enjoys writing fiction and candle-making, and she has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. She has a deep appreciation for theater, dance, and music. You will often find her traveling, spending time with loved ones, and reading a great book with a cup of Earl Grey (just a splash of cream!)
