I decided to study mathematics at Montclair because I was good at math, not because I knew what kind of job it could lead to. But the degree served me well, teaching me to think methodically and logically and grounding my understanding of data.
As part of the inaugural class of interns at the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies at Montclair, Laing-Waliyaya was engaged in transdisciplinary research and community projects well before launching her career. This, along with her involvement in Alpha Kappa Alpha, helped her develop leadership and communication skills that have also been crucial to her success.
