After a 22 hour flight. I am finally home! I’m very exhausted and jet lag already. Stepping into the cold weather in New Jersey, it amazes how I was in Thailand not long ago, enjoying the beautiful heat, wind, food, and culture. The two weeks spent in Thailand flew by incredibly fast. Studying abroad in […]

Hello people! Tomorrow we leave to go back home, and it feels bittersweet. Although I miss my mom’s cooking, I’m gonna miss eating authentic Thai food, exploring new places with my wonderful peers, and studying at Mahidol University. The last few days, we felt like farmers. We had the chance to plant a garden at […]

About Aliya Ali

Photo of Aliya Ali.

My name is Aliya! I am in my fourth year as a nutritional science major. My goals are to become a Registered Dietician after graduation. I will be graduating from Rutgers in the fall of 2020. I am actively involved in the Nutrition Club and a member of Kappa Omicron Nu, National Honor Society for Human Sciences. I worked as a dietary aide in a nursing home where I get shadow dieticians and learn more about my career. I have a passion to volunteer and work with others. I volunteer at the Youth Empowerment Services with the RU Healthy Kids New Brunswick, Elijah’s Promise, and more recently RAH: Rutgers against Hunger. I have always had an interest in food and living healthy. My passion for food has expanded as I dive deeper into my degree. I am excited to go to Thailand to learn about the practices of sustainability and agriculture, as well create unforgettable memories with the people I will spend time with during the course of this international duration.
