I had the pleasure of hiring and managing/mentoring Mehraz in my role as interim marketing lead at Pinwheel. Mehraz was smart, took great initiative, asked thoughtful questions, and was simply a joy to work with. I also appreciated that, while Mehraz was extremely easy going, she was not afraid to voice her opinion or make recommendations, even as the most junior person in our work environment. I cannot wait to watch Mehraz grow professionally and grow any organization she joins. I am thrilled that she is passionate about mission-driven companies because I have no doubt she has the potential to have a positive impact on the world.

Mehraz interned for me at Verb over the summer of 2018. She jumped into startup life with wide eyes, ready to take on anything I threw her way. She willingly stepped into the role of a content writer. She produced multiple campaigns for Verb, including writing all of the materials for our customer referral program. Mehraz was able to work collaboratively with our team and individually knock out big tasks. She was always willing to take feedback and improve. Mehraz's work ethic and eagerness to learn would make her an asset to any company moving forward.
