Hajer Enaami

Veronica: Where are you from?
Hajer: I’m from Libya, and I currently live in Rochester, New York.

Veronica: What is your major?
Hajer: I’m majoring in Biomedical Engineering.

Veronica: Who inspires you and why?
Hajer: My dad and my uncle both inspire me deeply. My dad is an engineer, and he’s always encouraged me to think critically and pursue a career that blends innovation with purpose. My uncle is a surgeon, and seeing his dedication to helping others through medicine made me passionate about health care and biomedical engineering. Their hard work, passion, and commitment to making a difference have shaped the goals I’m pursuing today.

Veronica: What are your plans after graduation?
Hajer: After graduation, I plan to transfer to a four-year university to continue my studies in biomedical engineering. I’m especially interested in prosthetics and assistive technology and hope to contribute to innovations that improve people’s quality of life.

Veronica: What was your favorite memory from your time at MCC?
Hajer: One of my favorite memories was serving as the president of the Muslim Student Association and also the Secretary of Student Government. It gave me the opportunity to create a welcoming space for students, foster interfaith collaborations, and celebrate diversity on campus. That experience helped me grow as a leader and connect with so many amazing people.

Veronica: Why would you recommend MCC to other students?
Hajer: MCC provides a strong academic foundation, supportive faculty, and countless opportunities to get involved. Whether you're just starting out or finding your path, it’s a place where you can grow both personally and academically.

Veronica: What advice would you give to prospective students you wish someone would have given to you?
Hajer: Don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek help. It’s okay to feel unsure sometimes, especially if you're adjusting to a new environment. Get involved in clubs or events—it’s one of the best ways to find community and discover what you’re passionate about.

Veronica: What was your favorite memory from your time at MCC?
Allannah: My favorite memory from MCC has been the singing sessions I'd have with my drawing class during our class break in my first semester. 

Veronica: Why would you recommend MCC to other students?
Allannah: I would recommend MCC to other students for the simple fact that there is so much opportunity at MCC and so many amazing, smart, talented, and kind people to meet and connect with. The professors are so passionate about their job and supportive. MCC helps you grow.

Veronica: What advice would you give to prospective students you wish someone would have given to you?
Allannah: My best piece of advice would be to connect with your professors, get to know them, and let them know you. Because 9 times out of 10, they can help you with whatever you may be struggling with in the class or even in your personal life.
