I had the pleasure of working alongside Barbara during our time at Cornell SC Johnson Business School, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional professional. Barbara is not only a quick learner but also a fantastic teacher, making complex concepts in Python, R, and SQL easy to grasp for everyone on our team. What sets Barbara apart is her remarkable patience and dedication to her work. She consistently delivers high-quality results and can figure out even the most challenging problems in no time. Whether we were working on group projects or tackling individual tasks, Barbara proved herself to be an indispensable team member. Her reliability and sense of responsibility are truly commendable. Barbara's contributions go beyond technical expertise. She possesses a unique ability to offer insightful input and approach problem-solving in a business-driven manner. Her analytical skills are exceptional, and she consistently adds value to any project or discussion. I wholeheartedly recommend Barbara for any endeavor she chooses to pursue. She is a rare talent with a combination of technical prowess, teaching ability, and business acumen that is sure to make her a valuable asset to any team or organization.

Barbara was an exceptional member of our Capstone team. She went above and beyond in our optimization codes and analyses, brought unique and thoughtful ideas to the table, and asked insightful questions that pushed our project into a higher level of complexity. I recommend Barbara for any analytical or technical positions because she utilizes all of the data and tools given to her and takes it many steps further. She is effective with time management and puts in great effort for projects she cares about.
