I've worked with Sara for the past 2+ years, coming to know her style very well. She is a detail-oriented, intuitive, compassionate, and hard-working team player. Over the past years we have worked on projects of varying sizes, however most of them are large-scale, requiring good memory and focus. She does not lose sight of the main objectives; getting the product delivered with quality, however she also brings a personal finesse and art to the table that is all her own. I would recommend Sara to any employer. She is an asset to any team.

I had the pleasure of working with the extremely enthusiastic and talented Sara Altaf, who is now one of the senior most members of the Quality Assurance team. Sara, is focus driven, and knows how to get the job done without losing her cool, even when there is immense pressure. She is a quick learner, an excellent mentor, and team player. Her ability to take on the lead and work on some of the most complex projects with great ease, enabled her to achieve a career milestone as she was selected as a dedicated QA resource for one of the most demanding business units at 360training.com. Sara is a valuable asset for an organization, and I wish her success for all future endeavors.
