Shereen received her doctorate from Tulane University where she studied the impact of trauma on child well-being. As the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, she has always been interested in the roll displacement and acculturation plays in child mental health. Both her work in New Orleans and her work internationally has continued to strengthen this interest. Naser's research and community work focuses on how schools and other service organizations can build capacity for addressing child and family mental health needs, including that of refugee families.
