I am very pleased to write this recommendation for Nazanin who was one of my best graduate students. She has worked under my supervision in Master degree in Medical Radiation field. I would like to mention here, that Nazanin is accurate and thorough, and has an outstanding potential to deal with research work and surmount its challenging perfectly, making her absolutely qualified in underlined research works and topics. I believe that Nazanin has ability and enthusiasm to do well in any administrative work In addition, she is a creative problem-solver, tireless worker, self-motivated individual, initiative, persistent and responsible person; thus, I strongly recommend her for getting any type of high level job as I understand her abilities and academic background which will support her to do her best. Also, regarding her knowledge, excellent performance and commitments, I believe she is a very promising candidate and definitely deserves any academic or managerial position according to her background of research … I give her my highest recommendation, without reservation. Therefore she is fully acquainted with all Radiation Oncology Techniques such as, acceptance testing, commissioning, dosimetry, treatment planning and so on. Also she took her
