Alongside Mozhda's studies, she works as a Graduate Assistant with Graduate Enrollment Management to support the recruitment and outreach of prospective graduate students through recruitment programs, application assistance, and personalized outreach.

With more than five years of experience in human resources management, student engagement, and higher education, Mozhda is deeply passionate about guiding students as they discover their purpose, build confidence, and recognize their cultural wealth as a source of strength rather than deficit.

Outside of work, Mozhda enjoys reading, lifting weights, and practicing yoga.
