Mariya studied a quantitiative decision making/modelling course with me as well as a capstone business strategy course. Her performance was very good to excellent. I attribute her ability to native intelligence, a superb work ethic, and maturity distilled from her diverse cultural background. And, she is a delightful person. I recommend her highly and without reservation.
