Nabi Mohammadi, originally from northern Afghanistan and raised in Kabul, has played a pivotal role in bridging cultures and supporting the Afghan community in Iowa. His journey began in 2009 when he became an interpreter for the U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Recognizing the opportunity for a better future, Nabi worked closely with the Iowa National Guard, who aided his relocation to Iowa along with his family in 2013.

Driven by his commitment to education and community empowerment, Nabi embarked on his college journey at DMACC, ultimately earning U.S. citizenship in 2019. He further pursued his education at Grand View, successfully graduating in 2021 with a degree in management information systems.
Since settling in the United States, Nabi has remained dedicated to giving back to his Iowa community. He actively supports newly-arrived Afghan refugees in Des Moines, offering vital assistance such as obtaining driving permits, connecting them with immigration lawyers to navigate their immigration cases, and facilitating connections with potential employers.
