Biography

From the Miss Michigan USA website:
Born in 1986 in New York, Rima was raised in Dearborn with her parents and her younger brother, Rami. A graduate of Dearborn High School, Rima attended the University of Michigan-Dearborn where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics with a minor in Business Administration. Active in the campus community, Rima served her fellow students as class senator, in addition to acting as the president of the students in the school’s Free Enterprise Group. Always reserving time for community service, Rima spent much of her college years volunteering as a social worker through various community organizations.

At the conclusion of her 2010 MISS MICHIGAN USA reign, Rima plans to begin law school with aspirations to contribute to the Service Nation campaign, an initiative that aims to inspire a new era of voluntary citizen service in America.

While Miss Michigan USA, Rima will be an advocate for breast and ovarian cancer awareness, the official causes of the pageant, and also those that happen to be very dear to her heart. Demonstrably, she is an active member of the Pink Fund, a financial assistance organization dedicated to removing the short-term financial burden from breast cancer patients, and instead directing their energies toward healing. As Miss Michigan USA 2010, Rima will serve as one of the first official pageant ambassadors for women’s self-defense awareness, educating women on the importance of taking the necessary precautionary measures to best protect and prepare themselves from unwanted situations.

In her spare time, Rima enjoys running, dancing, kickboxing, the outdoors and spending time with her family, friends and, most of all, her younger brother.
