Sophie Gallois

At 10% for the Ocean, a growing environmental NGO, Aparna stands out because of her motivation as a self-starter, her resilience to pressure, her sheer professionalism. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm have a real effect on the rest of the team. She built and managed a complex network of global NGOs, with little support and from scratch, and raised to every challenge thrown at her in an agile "startup" style organisation. She has great potential and I look forward to see what she will do next.

Donna Turvey

Aparna is such a joy to be around and work with. Her work ethic is exceptional and she spends a great deal of her own time developing herself to further her career prospects. She has such a positive outlook on life which she projects on to everyone around her, this is most apparent in her podcasts that she creates every week. Nothing is ever too much for Aparna especially when it comes down to helping others which she thrives off of. She works fantastically well as part of a team as well as individually and would be an asset to any organisation.
