In 2009, she went back for her Master’s in business, had a beautiful little girl on June 22, 2010, and graduated with her MBA in August of 2010 with honors. Since then, her team has commended her, and recognized her hard work and commitment, thus now she is the program coordinator for our SMDEP program, assistant to the Minority Faculty Organization, to the Dean of Multicultural Affairs and liaison and assistant for student organizations.

The highlight of my job is the experience we offer over 130 pre-med students during the summer, and the everlasting relationships I have with (Yale trained doctors) whom I helped in their journeys. I absolutely love my job, adore my supervisors, and feel privileged to be working in such a thriving, respectful environment. I am a genuinely good person, who enjoys helping others, learning, challenges, raising my daughter to be the best person she can be, and for her to go to YALE! I love, children, dogs, family, learning, dancing, singing in the shower, volleyball, and teaching my daughter Saniya……
