Sara Abdelrahman
It was an absolute pleasure working with Tara! Working with her at Kimco Property Management Team, I can say that she's a hard worker who would never settle for anything less than perfection. Tara's communication and leadership skills are amongst her top strengths. She is very efficient and organized, and that translates well in her work. Her professionalism and positive attitude doesn't go unnoticed. She got along very well with everyone in the company and outside the company like the tenants and the vendors. Always friendly and smiling... She is definitely a great hire!

Working with Tara in a team during my final quarter at Western Washington University was a distinct pleasure. Tara brought determination, organization, excellent collaboration skills, and good-natured humor to our group of change consultants. Even during stressful times during presentations, joint exam taking, weekly meetings, and formulating a long-term strategic roadmap in a team portfolio (over 100 pages!) she remained composed and willingly took on extra assignments and roles as needed. Tara displayed terrific leadership qualities and her work ethic, strong goal setting skills, and passion were an inspiration to myself and others in our team. I can recall countless occasions she would sacrifice her time (and sometimes sleep) to help maximize the quality of our deliverables for our professor and the executives at the LAW Advocates. I gladly recommend Tara to any employer looking for an enthusiastic, bright, and capable member to join their team.
