Currently, Wayland, Massachusetts resident, Amy works as a volunteer veterinarian for Elephant Nature Park. She also got enrolled for her new job at Wellesley Animal Hospital.

How Ethnicity Played a Major Factor In Her Journey

Zenobia moved to New York City back in 1989. Her initial days in the industry were indeed hard, which she blames on her "thick middle-class Bombay accent."

She was told countless times that if she wanted to make a place for herself, she needed to change her name because it sounded "Italian."

The situation was "doubly complicated" for her since she was a "fair-skinned Parsi," and "being Parsi technically meant being Persian."

All in all, the journey sure was hustling for a while and got better with time. 

Married To Husband?

Zenobia is not yet married, and some of the media outlets even put the "single" tag in place of her relationship status.
