"Ella joined us right after we finalized a complex merger and her steady presence was important as we collaborated with colleagues from both legacy organizations to redefine operational processes which impacted cross-departmental teams. She is not only an eager learner but she is also a strategic thinker who approaches challenges with focused curiosity and a drive to develop solutions which are acceptable for all stakeholders. She was a delight to work with and will be a great asset anywhere she chooses to contribute her skills. "

"When I became the interim director of the Center for International Development(CID) six months ago, Ella was there to make sure everything went smoothly. She helped me get my footing, confidently answering my questions and providing me insights into the workings at the CID. Each time we host an event, it is her attention to detail and her willingness to go above and beyond that continues to impress me. Ella is organized and able to juggle numerous projects at once – a truly valuable skill. As a team member or a leader, Ella earns my highest recommendation."
