Ruchi brings energy and enthusiasm into the tasks she undertakes. During our work together for Youth to Youth Group, Ruchi served as the co-secretary of the group. Ruchi was able to balance leadership with collaboration as appropriate, and handled group efforts with maturity and utmost professionalism. It was a pleasure to work together with her, and I wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Ruchi is a very hard-working and self-motivated professional. I have known her for almost four years now and we have worked together on several assignments on renewable energy (with focus on solar power and decentralized energy. She is extremely dependable and one can rely on her to be effectively and efficiently with very tight timelines. I was impressed with her ability to pick up things very well, and quickly, often on topics outside her subject knowledge. She is also articulate and personable, and always eager to learn new information or take new assignments. Her commitment levels are very high and his professional and personal attributes outstanding. I would highly recommend her for any position, as she naturally rises to the occasion when presented with something she is passionate about.
