Sakinah was an amazing Associate Producer. Her persistence in tracking down hard to find interview subjects and visual elements gave an extra sheen to the shows we worked on together. Fun, organized, and calm even under the most insane deadlines, Sakinah is the perfect production team member. Anyone who gets to work with Sakinah is above and beyond fortunate!
