Albanian born Jonela Hasani, 33, is a graduate of Manhattan Comprehensive Night and Day High School (MCNDHS). Currently completing her final semester at Alfred University, as part of the Masters in Education Program, with a concentration on School Counseling, Ms. Hasani emigrated to the United States at the age of 18. Although she had already graduated high school in her home country, her lack of proficiency in English hindered her in moving ahead. After speaking with someone she had befriended shortly after her arrival to the U.S., Ms. Hasani discovered MCNDHS when she was 19.
