Shaniyah Bernabela has been leading a double life for the last five years. During her weekends as a National Guard reservist, she identifies suspected chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons for the Department of Homeland Security. During her semesters as a film student at Mason Gross School of the Arts, she identifies what constitutes a good script, which camera angle evokes the right emotion and how to convey mood with proper lighting. Through it all – from a monthlong military training to filming her senior project during COVID-19 – Bernabela, 26, received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree on Sunday, when 13,329 graduates of Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences were honored during the 255th anniversary commencement ceremony.
