Maya worked with me for two years as a lab assistant, from 2020 to 2022, in the laboratory of Barry London at the University of Iowa. I cannot recommend her enough. She is intelligent, reliable, meticulous, professional, and very pleasant to work with. Maya did molecular biology experiments that are tricky and require a lot of attention to detail. She was really good at her job and almost never made mistakes, which is important in that line of work because mistakes are often not easy to fix. Overall, she was an outstanding lab assistant. Maya also has experience training other students and has done an excellent job at it. She has trained both fellow undergraduates as well as a graduate student. She explains things well, demonstrates techniques with care, and is an attentive teacher in general. Maya checked all of the boxes as a lab member. She was excellent at delivering high quality data that will go into future publications. She also was a "good citizen" at work and never above pitching in and doing the less glamorous chores that are required to keep a laboratory functioning. Personally, she is a pleasure to be around and collaborate with on research projects. Her manners are impeccable and demeanor very professional. Everyone in the lab really enjoyed the experience of working with her.
