Bio
Emily Hills
I have worked with Sophia for almost 4 years now, and every day I continue to learn new things from working with her and just existing around her. To say she inspires me would be an understatement. She may just be the best coworker I have had the pleasure of working with and the most dedicated employee, any company who employs her is extremely lucky. Sophia is completely honest about anything and everything, and this quality is something I appreciate probably more than I could ever tell her with words. As my supervisor presently, her leadership abilities and willingness to make sure I have everything I could possibly need to succeed, is deeply appreciated. Her dedication to the Animal Rescue League of NH is absolute, and through her I have developed as a professional and as a human being, and she has a way of opening and broadening your perspectives that I have yet to discover in any other human being. She continues to further her own knowledge with post graduate education, as she is always aiming to better care for the shelter animals, and educate the public. She would be a tremendous asset to any employer and just knowing she is my coworker makes me proud of be part of the dedicated Animal Rescue League staff.

Sophia has exceptional leadership and interpersonal skills and is a tremendous asset to any organization. A true team player, she has proven time and again to have an excellent critical thinking ability as well as the empathy, care and patience required to assist the community served by our animal welfare organization. Sophia is very self-motivated, quick to learn and keen to take on any additional responsibility to help our organization meet its mission. Any organization would be extremely lucky to hire Sophia, she has my highest recommendation.
