Top Training In the Professions

Transcript

Okay, so what if you already have a career and a family, but you want a new career? Meet Zareen, a physician assistant and mother of two, who’s getting top training in her profession. Despite having very little free time, she’s getting her masters in healthcare administration from the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business. Her story is very compelling. How she’s balancing work and family. Zareen, over to you.

– Hi Alex, thank you for giving the opportunity to share my story. I lost both my parents at a very engaged in Pakistan. I was raised in East Africa, Tanzania. Even at a young age, I knew I wanted to be in healthcare. So now, I currently practice as a cardiothoracic physician assistant. I love the Adelphi University MBA program. It is designed to help everyone succeed, especially being a mother of two beautiful kids and a wife and working full-time in cardiothoracic service, I was able to work with the university, taking weekend classes. The best part of being an MBA is networking with teammates from all other professional fields. While completing my MBA, I was offered a leadership role at St. Francis Hospital Heart Center. I also won Eileen McDonald’s Scholarship and a trip to Germany. After my MBA, I’m planning to proceed my studies even further. I will definitely be able to teach in any PA program with the experience I now have. I want to pass this message to my kids and every student out there. It doesn’t matter what religion, what skin color or what nationality you have, if you put your 110% in an education, you will never regret it. This is my story. Back to you, Alex.

– I’m blown away by your stories, Zareen, it’s so inspiring to hear how you’re able to do it all. You’re setting a great example for your kids and for all of us. When it comes to the professions like business, education and social work, Adelphi is changing lives. Thanks again for that.
