Fatima Saqib

 

Hi everyone! My name is Fatima and I’m a fourth year student in the HNS program. I am also one of the Events co-chairs on NECO this year! I’ve been part of NECO since last year, when I was part of the Nutrition Month committee. Being part of NECO has allowed me to network and develop skills that I will apply in future roles in health care. When not doing the usual school things, you can find me reading an abhorrent amount of fiction, taking part in extracurriculars, at one of my jobs, or spending time with my family. If you see me, please say hi, I’d love to chat!

I am in fourth year (Hopefully this is my last year in school).
This is my second year in NECO. I love to work with our multi-cultural club and how united as one we have.

Career prospects: Dietitian, Lipid mediators researcher, Infant formula industry

Badminton lovers ( I have 4 racquets for doubles play),  enjoy cooking my cuisine foods (I am from Vietnam in which have Pho and many broth for soup). I wish you have a good fall term study and stay tunned for winter term since NECO will have a huge planning event for you alls.
