I was Shaza’s mentor when she started teaching at Hybla Valley Elementary School as a teacher of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), as well as her office-mate for 3 years. In all, I have known her for 5 years. Shaza approached her professional learning with enthusiasm and conscientiousness, just as she approached planning for and teaching her students. She is creative and open to new ideas, and was always a team player. She conducted herself in a professional manner, even when playing educational games with her first-grade students. Her perseverance and commitment to achieving her goals were to evident to me as I watched her earn a Master’s degree while teaching full time. I was impressed with her ability to organize and focus on tasks required to complete a project, whether she was writing a grant for a Kindergarten literacy program or creating instructional materials to use in reading lesson. I enjoyed working with Shaza and believe she would be a valuable asset to any organization.

I worked with Shaza in the Human Resource department in Piraues bank for about 2 years. She is dedicated to her work, eager to learn and very adaptive. She was very organized with all the resumes coming into our office through a data base she personally created. She also created an organizational model/chart with all the members of our bank with their job descriptions, reporting lines to understand and display how our staffing was organized. She heard the needs of all her branch managers and staff members throughout Piraeus Bank and in all the local branches. She treated everyone with professionalism and kindness and managed her responsibilities with care. Shaza also made sure all of her projects were completed within the given timeframes.

I worked with Shaza as a team leader. Mrs. Abdol developed a great rapport with her team workers as well as those she supervised, her students. She was always willing to learn and often signed up for trainings. Under her guidance, students felt more confident and ended the school year more prepared for the challenges of the next year.
