MEMORANDUM OPINION
Granting Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment
I. INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff, a black Nigerian female, was employed as a “senior auditor” by Defendant, KPMG, from September 2001 to June 2008. She was terminated by KPMG effective June, 30, 2008. Plaintiff has filed suit against KPMG on three counts: 1) Discrimination, retaliation, hostile work environment, and wrongful termination on the basis of her race and national origin, in violation of Title YII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq., 2) violation of the District of Columbia Human Rights Act, D.C. Code § 1-2501 , et seq., and 3) breach of contract and violation of KPMG’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. The Defendant has moved for summary judgment on the grounds that Plaintiff has failed to present sufficient facts to permit a reasonable jury to conclude that Plaintiff was the victim of race or national origin discrimination. As explained more fully below, the Court concludes that the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment should be granted.
