Shalini and I were connected via the OCISO Mentorship program which included one-on-one sessions over several months time. Shalini proved to be diligent and adaptable in her pursuit of gainful employment opportunities as well as attentive and receptive to guidance and feedback. With an MBA, several Management certificates and a passion for both people and process, one would be amiss to gloss over her candidacy and skill sets. Given the chance to prove herself, I have no doubt Shalini will meet and exceed expectation given our relationship to date.
