Ik ben een collega (senior-docent; psycholoog) van Esther in Zuyd Hogeschool Social Work te Sittard. Ik ken Esther inmiddels een paar jaar en ik kan haar van harte aanbevelen. Esther is een verrijking voor elk team: ze denkt constructief mee, kan goed onderwijs ontwikkelen, heeft lef en pit, is een prima trainster sociale vaardigheden (opzet en uitvoering). Studenten zijn enthousiast over haar professionaliteit en betrokkenheid. Ze heeft coördinerende activiteiten; je kunt eigenlijk altijd een beroep op haar doen. Naast haar deskundigheid is Esther een erg fijne collega, die altijd belangstelling toont op het persoonlijke vlak. Ik kan haar als een echte doorzetter; ook als het even tegenzit blijft ze optimistisch van aard zich focussen op de positieve aspecten van haar baan. Ik hoop dat ze nog lang in ons team mag blijven.

Esther is een collega docent met pit. Ze heeft veel energie, weet waar het over moet gaan, werkt nauwgezet en ze pakt de koe bij de horens. Ze weet de goede vragen te stellen en is empathisch. Ze kan op een hele luchtige manier contact maken en je positief motiveren. Dat is een kunst.
