Pasha Zabadneh ’27

For Pasha Zabadneh ’27 of Evanston, being a Rambler means believing in yourself while also recognizing the importance of asking for help when you need it. Through his experiences at Loyola Academy, Pasha has grown in confidence, self-awareness, and self-advocacy—qualities that continue to shape both his academic journey and personal growth. As a member of the Clavius Scholars Honors Program, the golf team, and Arrupe volunteer initiatives, he approaches each opportunity with curiosity, determination, and a desire to make a positive impact on those around him.

Pasha hopes to pursue a future in mechanical engineering, combining his passion for innovation with his love of golf—perhaps one day helping design new golf technology. Inspired by Loyola’s Jesuit mission and supportive community, he continues to embrace opportunities to grow intellectually, spiritually, and as a leader in service to others. His journey reflects the spirit of Loyola Academy: forming women and men who lead with compassion, confidence, and purpose.
