Kate Tobin
A wonderful human...colleague and student! I've had the pleasure of working with Atifa as a student volunteer and casual staff member over the past three years. Atifa has committed her time and energy to support students from underrepresented communities to access higher education. Atifa is wonderfully creative and driven; has excellent interpersonal skills and is an incredibly engaging presenter. I'm always blown away by her ability to connect with people of any age and have seen her do this 1on1 or to a room of 100's. If you're looking for an ambitious, highly ethical and smart person to join your team, then look no further.
