KHADIJA

I worked in the mortgage business for a little over three years before deciding to switch career paths and return to school full time. I chose to major in my life long interest, African American Studies, and I want to pursue a career as a writer. Philanthropy is an issue that is very dear to my heart. I plan to one day work with African American youth in particular, to prepare them for life after high school. I am a KU Basketball fanatic and really looking forward to this year's season. When not working, attending school or studying, I enjoy spending time with my family and closest friends.
