Cameron Khansarinia

Cameron Khansarinia began volunteering for NUFDI in 2018 and started as full-time Policy Director in February 2020. As Policy Director he heads research and writing, advocacy efforts in the policy and policymaking communities, media relations, legislative efforts, and special projects. He maintains contact with the Iranian-American community and Iranian democracy activists across the political spectrum. Prior to joining NUFDI he lived in New York City and worked at BlackRock. He studied government and political theory at Harvard where he served as the President of the Iranian Association and as the Vice President of the Student Body. After the completion of his thesis, he graduated in 2018. Throughout his time at BlackRock he volunteered for NUFDI, but as both the Iranian people’s movement for freedom and the regime’s oppressive response grew more widespread, he left the firm to join NUFDI full time.
