    I had the pleasure to coach and supervise the day-to-day work of Maanya for several months during her final year at Northeastern U. She is a high-caliber professional whose passion for learning new concepts and translating that learning into applicable and tangible results was second-to-none. Maanya always completed her work (sometimes under heavy pressure and deadlines) in a most productive fashion and was creative with solutions to quality issues. Examples of her work included the re-design of our Company product labels which met compliance with EU MDR 2017/745 and ISO 13485:2016, as well as other global regulations. Also, she was instrumental in supporting the preparation of key regulatory audits. If presented with another opportunity to work with, or to hire Maanya, I would happily do so without reservation. She is a bright and thoughtful individual, and is an immediate asset to any Company fortunate enough to recognize her potential value to an organization.
