Layal Rassas
I am a MSW candidate at Loyola University Chicago. I’m on track to graduate this summer!
Some of my interests include cooking and traveling. Something I really enjoy doing with the current pandemic is traveling through food. I like to look up different recipes from all over the world and try to cook it at home.
