Luna was one of my supervisors when I did volunteer work for 2 months for Women Empowerment at Volunteer Initiative Nepal. I could not have done my job effectively without her vast knowledge of business, and her understanding of the needs of the women we were working to support. She was instrumental in taking care of the details in making a business lead in Kathmandu, turn into a reality. She worked above and beyond in an efficient manner. Her dedication to VIN’s mission was deeply felt through her thorough dedication to the volunteers she worked with and her follow through with the women when we finished our volunteer work. She had a clear understanding of the challenges the volunteers had and worked hard to help us overcome them. If I ever had an opportunity, I would hire Luna without hesitation because I believe she has a heart for the cause and her dedication to detail to be very thorough.
