Bio - written by Helen Sairany, PharmD (July 2024) As a 7-year-old Kurdish child in Iraq, a country torn by war and conflict, I was spotted by a U.S. Marine deployed to my country with a grenade in my hand, who saved my life by exchanging the grenade for a bag of candy. He later escorted my family and I out of war to seek refuge in the U.S. Because of my turbulent childhood, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD in 2013. Thus, I aspire to live in a world where the vast majority are trauma-informed, feel psychologically safe and valued for the work they put out, and return home fulfilled. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic began, I have been open about my dormant childhood trauma. I have been traveling worldwide to give talks on topics such as trauma-informed care, leadership, and the workforce. After having traveled to more than 100 countries worldwide, I developed an appreciation for the diverse mix of cultures, people, and traditions. My interest in trauma stems from personal experiences of living through wars, navigating complex relationships, and continually learning what it means to be human.
