Aziza obtained her law degree from the FIU College of Law, earning recognition for her exceptional academic performance by making the Dean’s List and receiving the book award in Real Estate Transactions.

During her tenure at FIU, Aziza demonstrated a strong commitment to serving the community by working as a legal advocate at the Carlos A. Costa Immigration & Human Rights Clinic.
