She started her culinary career at Avari Towers, a premium hotel in Karachi, Pakistan. She later graduated from The Culinary Institute of America, where she was the valedictorian of her class. Haya has worked in some of the most prestigious kitchens around the world. She is an alumna of Jean-Georges' multi-starred flagship in New York City.
