Watching Rajita’s presentation was inspirational. Her positive energy and passion for what she does was apparent as soon as I entered the room. Listening to her experiences and the challenges she has overcome was truly inspiring and motivating. I look forward to hearing from Rajita again in the future, and dancing along side her as well.
Kate Kristiansen
Many of my student’s, despite being International or domestic often appear overwhelmed and directionless. Her enthusiasm and professionalism more than helped to bridge the gap for students around the benefits of diversity, time and stress management, which further assisted connections with each other

“Rajita’s story was a narration of her own early life, her challenges and her triumphs. From the time she began speaking, the experience was transformative. Students were enamored of her boundless energy and intrigued by the sharing of her personal story. So enthralled was the audience that they invited Rajita back for a repeat performance in the same semester. In my 25 years of teaching, this had never happened before.”
