I have known Gretta since 2010 while pursuing our Bachelors of Arts course at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Both of us were part of a Student organization called AICUF (All India Catholic University Federation) where we both occupied various leadership roles and have worked together at the state and national levels. Gretta has a dynamic personality where she can easily manage both individual and group tasks with ease and attention to detail. She has the ability to befriend and socialize in new groups with utmost ease. She displayed the ability to work independently and managed any work allocated to her with little supervision. I strongly recommend her for various leadership positions for any inter-cultural group, her language and communication skills are also quite commendable. Her love and passion for animals and cultures are evident and she communicates her passion to sensitize others even today through her social media platforms.

I have known Gretta since 2014 and it has been a pleasure working with her. Gretta is a passionate individual who puts her heart & soul into the assignment that she takes up. Gretta is very thorough with her work, has eye for details and takes up even the most challenging opportunities with a smile on her face. I have worked with her in 2 organisations- The informed voter project and Antarang Foundation. In the first organization her role involved high level of operations and in the second it was a combination of operations & facilitation. Gretta is a quick learner and can multi-task efficiently. I wish Gretta all the luck in her future endeavours.
