Rima B. Sinclair is a twenty-year resident of Denver. In 1987,
she moved to Denver in pursuit of graduate studies at the
University of Denver, where she finished her Master's degree
in International Management in 1990. Rima completed
her high school at the Sisters of the Rosary Collage and
received her Bachelor's of Science in Political Science and
Economics from the University of Jordan.
After graduating from DU, she worked in the family business
in investment and international trade. In 1995 Rima found
great opportunities in trading in the stock market and became
a stock trader. Today, Rima works as a translator and consultant
on Middle-East affairs.
Community Activities: Rima was a volunteer at Children's Hospital
and has helped raise funds for the Hospice of St. John's.
More recently, she worked with members of the interfaith community
to establish a food pantry, Ansar. Thanks to Denver's Metro-CareRing
and to the hard work of members of the interfaith community,
the pantry continues to serve Denver's families in need of
help. In 2007, the Denver Foundation featured Ansar as one
of the top three Denver projects.
Rima is a frequent speaker and an advocate for greater participation
in civic affairs. She continues to work for better understanding
among peoples of different backgrounds. She helped organize
several events for that purpose. In December 2007, Rima helped
coordinate a community forum at the Capitol to address citizens’
concerns relating to discrimination. The forum was sponsored
by Speaker of House, Andrew Romanoff.
Rima is a board member of the Abrahamic Initiative of St.
John’s and has regularly participated in interfaith dialogue.
She wrote: "I firmly believe that greater interaction
and knowing of each others’ ways would bring about more
tolerance, and that can only lead to a stronger united America."
