I highly recommend Joanna for her exceptional initiative, research skills, and ability to work both independently and collaboratively. During her time contributing to the Marine Knowledge Hub, she demonstrated a strong ability to take ownership of tasks with minimal guidance, expanding the project’s scope in meaningful ways based on her insights and interests. Joanna’s proactive approach to problem-solving and her willingness to engage in discussions when challenges arose were invaluable to the project’s success. She provided thoughtful feedback that helped refine our work and was always open to constructive input from both myself and her teammates. Her excellent communication skills and dedication made working with her a truly positive experience. I have no doubt that Joanna will continue to excel in any future endeavors she pursues, and I highly recommend her to any team or organization looking for a self-starter with strong research and collaboration skills.
