Karim Qayumi
It is my great pleasure to write this letter of reference for Ms. Xue (Lisa) Zhang. I have known Lisa on both professional and personal levels for six years. She worked at my company, Interactive Health International (IHI). IHI's primary technology is CyberPatient which invites learners to examine, diagnose, and operate on virtual patients and provides them with feedback on their performance. Lisa worked at my company as a Digital Marketing Strategy Manager for Asia and as such she performed extremely well. I was always very impressed with Lisa whenever she guided me to understand the Asian market. Lisa helped build new marketing strategies and a database for clients to help narrow down decision making. Lisa also used advanced marketing techniques to promote their business through different social media channels to reposition the company’s brand. She also developed and tested platforms for Chinese students to help streamline the education system for online students. Students had hands-on experience with the new platforms to test it out and the project turned out very successful. Furthermore, I would like to empathize her contribution to IHI to building a successful online strategy and identifying and dealing with potential clients in China. Moreover, Lisa is a very highly intelligent, informed and extremely motivated person. I find her that when she puts her mind to something, she always succeeds. Also, she was quite receptive to constructive feedback from me or other members of the team in a humble manner and attitude. She was always open to suggestions to improve herself on a personal and professional level. In addition, I was always impressed with the way Lisa would handle challenges with regards to meeting deadlines or dealing with stress with a difficult goal. She was always very calm and gracious and as a result, deadlines were met and goals were achieved. On a personal note, Lisa is a hard working individual with a high degree of integrity and honesty. I strongly believe that she will be an asset to your program. Should you have any questions regarding Lisa or any of my comments in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Karim Qayumi, MD, PhD, FRCSC Professor, Department of Surgery at UBC Founder and CEO of Interactive Health International (IHI) Chair, Technology Enabled Learning, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority Regional Director, Royal College International
