I would absolutely love to work with her again, she is an incredibly dedicated young woman. It is always a delight for everyone when we see she has joined the session. She takes so much pride in her work and is always going far beyond the expectations we set out for the researchers. Her testimonies and insights have provided great depth to our endeavor and I would love for her to return to us again and join further projects with Leaders Unlocked as she grows.

Sumayyah Rahman is hard working and tenacious individual. I have worked with her to run two large scale events where she has proven to be pro active, forward thinking and methodical in her approach to problem solving. She is personal when dealing with people of all ages with excellent professional conduct and professionalism. She is able to take clear instruction and execute with minimal supervision in addition to using her initiative when needed. I will definitely be recommending Sumayyah for future projects/events.
