"Dogmatists have one advantage: they are poor listeners." - Frans de Waal

Alizia Kamani was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada to a refugee family from Uganda. With migration in her blood, Alizia moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2008 to pursue higher education. She describes this city as an outdoor museum, and at times she feels like she is taking a walk through the golden age.

Alizia joined the Amsterdam School of International Business as a Communications Advisor in June 2016. In cooperation with the students, lecturers, staff and management of AMSIB, Alizia works to improve internal and external communications.
