About

Athena was born in Arizona to a diverse working family. Her father immigrated to the United States from Palestine with a dream and a suitcase. Her mother was born to a German mother and Mexican father in inner-city Chicago. For 30 years her parents have operated a small family business where everyone contributes. Athena had the great fortune of attending public schools with educators who cared deeply about their students. However, from the early 1990s into the 2000s Athena experienced what many Arizona children continue to confront today: a public education system that has been shortchanged for decades by corrupt politicians. Athena earned degrees in Economics and Political Science from Arizona State University, where she began her career in community organizing and advocating for the public interest. When she wasn't studying, Athena spent every waking moment working in nonprofits to lobby Congress and the state Legislature on affordable tuition and healthcare for all. | Contact Information - Email: asalman@azleg.gov - Phone: 602-926-4858
