I managed them directly

This individual has volunteered for the Girls' Programming Network for many years under my leadership. They are a key contributor to the community, and one of my go-to people to handle last-minute emergencies, as I know they can fill in for any job or handle any situation well and fast. When establishing committees, they are a first thought of who should be on board, both for their technical skills, commitment, and positive attitude. They are an extraordinary self-driven learner, anything they want or need to learn, they can and will. While they are still relatively early in their career, they will go far, especially within an organization that seeks to leverage their many strengths.
