"Professional and Determined" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Jailah. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jailah this summer, during which I have been impressed and amazed by both her personal and professional growth only after one year of law school. Above all, I have been impressed with Jailah’s ability to achieve and exceed any goal or task she sets for herself. Jailah would be an asset for any position or company requiring a motivated, passionate, and detail oriented professional who performs at the highest level. It is for this reason that Jailah comes with my most heartfelt recommendation.
