SIMA BASHER

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY to immigrant parents, Sima has always embraced and supported the inclusion and well-being of diverse communities. A city girl through and through — from the streets of New York City to the heart of Philadelphia and most recently landing on the shores of Atlantic City, Sima has thrived and relished in the unique energy, culture and diversity of these melting pots.

A proud CPA with a B.S. in Accounting from the Pennsylvania State University and an M.S. in Computer Information Systems from the University of Phoenix, Sima has built a fulfilling 20+ year career in accounting, and most recently, risk management within the pharmaceutical industry. Her experience in the pharmaceutical industry fueled her passion to support others in need, whether through her work’s purpose in ultimately serving patients with unmet medical needs or through volunteering her time and energy with various non-profit organizations. Through her professional and volunteer efforts, she continues to recognize and champion the powerful impact of kindness and inclusion.

In addition to her passion for world music and dance, Sima loves to travel, relax on the beach, watch football and basketball and spend quality time with friends and family. Though she’s never sought the spotlight, Sima is now ready to let her light shine and is thrilled for the opportunity to bring her love for dance and her support for the LGBTQ+ community to Dancing Under the Rainbow!
