She credits Tony Gibson as a key mentor in her journey, expressing deep appreciation for his guidance and unwavering commitment to advocating for workers’ rights.

Looking ahead, Hazamy is eager to take on greater responsibility and work more closely with members to strengthen their collective voice.
