Scheduling Team
Sandra Bobman, Lead Scheduling Coordinator
Joining MACHAON from a customer service and drama background, Sandra has a deep understanding of the complexities of managing multifaceted cases to stay on track. She received her master's degree in Library and Information Science and a bachelor’s in Drama from The University of Washington. Before getting her undergraduate degree in Drama, Sandra intended to become a translator and is conversational in French and Hebrew. In Library School, she was particularly interested in a class that covered the history of written language and included hands on lessons in book binding and calligraphy.
As a stage manager, Sandra built rehearsal schedules around cast and production conflicts, which helped to build the defensive scheduling skills she uses today. Her background in managing multiple ever- changing priorities means that she is ready to ensure that the show does, in fact, go on. When Sandra worked as a receptionist she discovered the impact kindness can make on a person's day and she has since endeavored to bring that light to each interaction she has.
Sandra is well versed in legal matters as she comes from generations of lawyers. Her grandfather practiced real estate law and her father practiced family law out of her childhood home.
​
Sandra is originally from Tacoma, but now lives in Seattle with her cat Quincy who is, in her opinion, the fattest cat you'll ever see. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her two sisters and reading. She especially likes Agatha Christie's novels and she has collected over 25 vintage paperback Poirot mysteries.
Aashiyana Khandhiya, Scheduling Coordinator
Originally from Gujarat, India, Aashiyana came to Seattle after getting her master’s degree in healthcare administration from Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Aashiyana was drawn to working at Machaon because of her background managing medical records and scheduling and as nurse in a cancer hospital in India. She has authored two review articles, one on color therapy, and the other on Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and volunteered in various community enhancement programs in India, including breast cancer and uterine cancer awareness initiatives. She is a member of the Indian Red Cross Association and is fluent in Hindi and Gujarati.
Aashiyana considers herself an introvert and enjoys traveling solo. She revels in immersing herself in new cultures and has explored Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. On a day-to-day basis, Aashiyana likes to play badminton and pursue her interest in photography. She particularly likes landscape and street photography which allow her to capture the beauty of natural scenery or documenting the subtleties of everyday life.
