Nelofar Kureshi

I had the pleasure of knowing Shirin in her last year at Dalhousie University and was very impressed by her graduate research. Using her medical background and health informatics skills, Shirin developed a knowledge model for chronic diseases to facilitate the computerization of care plans. She is a competent, knowledgeable and detail oriented individual who can confidently relay new information. I sat through one of her technical presentations and was fascinated by her subject matter expertise and her ability to tackle questions with poise and grace. I certainly recommend Shirin; she would be an asset to any organization.
