Bio
Kevin Testa
I had the pleasure of working with Seema for a number of years on several collaborative projects. Seema’s excellent interpersonal skills and quick thinking won me over, to where I specifically would request to work with her as I had full trust in her abilities to see a project through. Throughout our time working together, Seema was always able to contribute her impressive expertise, while also having the wherewithal to know how to assess other people and learn from them. Despite working in a field that possessed numerous challenges, Seema was always able to ask the right questions, analyze any information that I shared with her and then present it to her clientele in a clear, concise way without missing a beat. This ability to juggle complex information and communication styles while keeping multiple diverse groups of people informed and content is a true testament to Seema’s professional and personal character. I can highly recommend Seema as a colleague and would be happy to speak further as a reference.
