Natalie Sanandaji, 28, serves as a public affairs officer for the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM). A Long Island native born to an Israeli mother and Iranian father, Natalie worked in real estate in New York City before October 7th, when she narrowly survived the Nova music festival massacre during a visit to Israel. Her traumatic experience that day led her to transform her life and switch her career path to Jewish advocacy and fighting antisemitism. Preceding her work at CAM, Natalie has also long co-hosted the “Persian Girl Podcast,” where the conversations generally focus on coming-of-age experiences in the large Iranian expatriate communities of New York and Los Angeles. Given her background, Natalie is well-versed in the struggles in the Middle East against the tyrannical forces of radical Islam backed by the current regime in Tehran, and her guiding mission is to use her multicultural background to her advantage to support the fight for freedom throughout the region and across the globe.
