Sara is a fourth year Psychology and Nutrition and Families student at Brescia University College. Following a career in medical office administration, she pursued a career in the public school system as an administrative assistant, where she worked for the last 15 years. During this time, she also enjoyed training and mentoring new hires, and working with diverse populations. She decided to go back to university as a mature student and is currently in her 4th year pursuing an Honours Double Major.
 

After having Dr. Hawa as a professor, she now has the opportunity to work with her as a Research Coordinator on the YSMENA study. She has already learned so much about various research methods, and the barriers that vulnerable and equity-deserving populations face. With this, she looks forward to many new opportunities in the future.
