Alexandra Marshall
Dr. Shakya is everything academics like to see modeled. She is bright, capable and motivated. She is also a joy to be around! She works hard and completes tasks independently requiring little oversight. If she does not know how to do something, she will ask to make sure she meets your expectations. She is also thoughtful and caring. If I had a position for her, I'd hire her immediately!
