I had the pleasure of working with Lalitha for 6 months during her undergraduate research project in the Diabetes Research Group. During this time, she showed immense dedication and enthusiasm to her work. She demonstrated a strong work ethic and was highly motivated to finish the project efficiently and accurately. Her attention to detail was commendable and she was never afraid to ask questions and took initiative to learn more about the research project. Her strong interpersonal skills enabled her to build strong relationships with her colleagues and work productively as part of a team. I highly recommend Lalitha and would be pleased to work with her in the future.
