I worked with Ruth at a boarding school in England and from the first time we met, I knew she was going to be a very dedicated and professional member of our team. Ruth is very organised and has excellent time management skills; she was always extremely kind to others and works brilliantly by herself as well as in a team. Tasks set to Ruth can be trusted to be completed to a high standard and within a deadline date. The quality of Ruth's work is extremely high, very clear and professional. Ruth has excellent communication skills and can be trusted to manage teams in a professional and friendly way. It was a genuine pleasure to work with Ruth and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any position. It was difficult to say goodbye to such a lovely person who was dedicated to her role-I fear the position she left may never be filled to her high level of working!

Ruth was my trusted business partner, helping me to manage my day to day activity, ensuring meetings were organised, people were prepared and ensuring that actions were followed up. She consistently delivered above and beyond, no task was deemed too small and her attention to detail second to none. Ruth also kept an eye on team members and colleagues across the organisation, supporting where she could and escalating when she felt more was needed. In her own time, Ruth also got involved in organising fundraising events, raising money for the ROS, persuading colleagues and her network to get involved. Ruth's enthusiasm and passion will light any room and she delivered huge value to ROS.
