She was raised in Cambridge affordable housing and attended Cambridge Public Schools, graduating from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. While a student at CRLS, Councillor Siddiqui’s passion for service and youth representation motivated her to co-found the Cambridge Youth Council, now in its 22nd year.

As Mayor, she initiated a guaranteed income pilot, Cambridge RISE, which provided 130 single caregivers with $500 monthly payments for 18 months and expanded the program to provide every family under the 250% poverty line with $500 monthly payment for 18 months.
