This month, we are proud to shine our Employee Spotlight on Sadia Tahir Khan, a Dietary Assistant in the Food and Nutrition Department at Flushing Hospital Medical Center for the past 20 years.
Sadia was born in Pakistan and moved with her parents to the Flushing area of New York City in 1986. She attended PS 193, IS 237, and John Bowne High School. In 2002, she received her B.A in biology from Queens College and in 2004, she obtained her second B.A. from Queens College in Family and Consumer Sciences with a Dietetics Concentration. In 2009, Sadia received her M.S. in Nutrition and Exercise Sciences with a specialization in nutrition.
Sadia lives with her husband Muzzamil, who is also employed at Flushing Hospital and their two sons, one is 14 years old and the other is 18 years old. In her free time she enjoys cooking food from all over the world, but predominately Indian, Pakistani and American dishes. She likes to read books and articles on nutrition, food safety and food allergens. Sadia also enjoys listening to music and watching movies. She hasn’t had the opportunity to travel extensively but one day she hopes to visit many areas within the United States.
She very much enjoys working in the Dietary Department at Flushing Hospital because of the wonderful people she works with. Her colleagues are hard working, dedicated, and very committed to their profession. They all work in unison to provide patients with extraordinary dietary services each and every day. We are very fortunate to have Sadia as a member of our team and we look forward to her continuing to work with us for many more years.
