Ms. Rida is also a good teacher as I evidenced this during her presentations, and while teaching summer fellows, and conducting GRE tutorials and she always got good feedback. She was also part of the team of volunteers who helped in conducting seminars and workshops held in our institute. I always found her very responsible; taking on the tasks very seriously. She also has leadership qualities. At the same time, Ms. Rida is very polite, soft spoken, possesses a very pleasant personality and is very well organized. Due to her cooperative nature, she is very popular among her lab colleagues. I always enjoy working with her. In my opinion, she truly deserves this appreciation."
