Her being promoted to supervisor says a lot about her character and work ethic as a facility supervisor for the recreation center is one of the most coveted and competitive student jobs.

I found Preet's get-go attitude very easy to work with and she has a desire to learn as well as contribute which a good balance in the workplace. Her strengths are definitely more in detailed analysis and research based projects where she is able to use what she learns to make good viable contributions to ideas. She is a bit of a workaholic in a goo way and always likes to deliver beyond expectations which would make her a valuable employee.
