Episode 46 (English): Faiza Khan - Aeronautical Engineer & Teacher

My interview with Faiza Khan, an amazing person with an unnerving self discipline, clarity in her goals, and a graceful persona. Hope you will enjoy my conversation with her. Faiza came to the US from Karachi, Pakistan when she was only 18 as an only child trying to keep up with her mother's dream that her only daughter will be SOMETHING one day. She attended Aeronautical University for her BSc in Aviation Computer Science and then went on to do her Masters in Aviation Business Administration from the same university. She then worked for US Airways in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before getting married and moving to Boston in 2000. She was a stay at home mother of 4 until 2010 which is when she applied and got accepted to the Boston Teacher Residency Program to do her Masters in Education from UMass while teaching at Boston English High School as part of her teaching practicum. She has been a full time High School Mathematics and AP Computer Science teacher since 2010 at Medford High School. She is currently the Robotics Team Advisor, MIT Beaverworks Advisor and is finishing up her practicum for a curriculum Director, a role she is not sure if she want to take in the future. Faiza has been associated with ICB Wayland Sunday School in various capacities. She taught 2nd grade religion for 4 years before taking on the vice principal position in 2010. Ever since then she has rotated for the positions of Principal and Vice Principal and is looking forward to completing her current tenure as a principal in June 2018. She has 4 kids (a junior in high school, a freshman in high school and twin daughters in 6th grade) and an amazingly supportive husband who she credits greatly for all her success after marriage.
