Sakiba Dzelil began working for Terra Dotta in January of 2015 as a Terra Dotta Administrator. She acts as an extension of offices that have purchased the TD Administrator Service, updating process elements, opening and closing application cycles and much more. She also answers case questions about features and best practices.
Prior to working at Terra Dotta, Sakiba worked as a Graduate Assistant, Administrative Assistant, and as an Office of International Programs Coordinator at Western Kentucky University. She also served as a Service Representative at the Social Security Administration.
Sakiba received a BS in Sociology at the University of Tennessee at Martin, a Masters of Public Administration from Western Kentucky University, and is currently completing a Doctorate Degree in Educational Leadership from Western Kentucky University.
When not working for Terra Dotta, she enjoys traveling, nature walks, and watching HGTV and the Food channel. Sakiba says her favorite part of working at Terra Dotta is “the interaction that I have with clients. It feels like I am working in several different offices. Learning how clients have developed their own way of utilizing our software is very interesting." |
