Recommendations



Manar Abouhenidi was introduced to me as a new intern that was to be placed in my department. I quickly found Manar to be highly intelligent and highly motivated to learn the world of computers, both theory and life application of knowledge. She had such a very wide range of training and knowledge that I even suggested to her that she should focus into an area that reflects her higher interest such as networking, security, or user application. Not only was she a highly intelligent person, but she has a great work ethic. When I gave her a project to complete, I would not see her except when she had a question or had completed the job. And I never found her completed work lacking in anything. Through the short time she spent with us, she made an ever lasting impression and memories that we still talk about today.
