I had an opportunity to work with Pratibha for about six months and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. Great attributes as per my observation were working hard to meet the project goals, not only provides the solution to the problem but also constantly look for opportunity to prevent them from happening. She comes with great ideas for the team!

Pratibha served as one of 48 Grand Awards judge in the Systems Software category at the 2015 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, for which I was co-chair. Pratibha showed great enthusiasm and commitment in working with the student contestants to evaluate their projects, and encourage them to continue pursuing their interests and goals in computing. She worked well with her fellow judges during caucus deliberations, which extended for over 3 hours following 2 days of student project evaluations and interviews of the students. I look forward to future opportunities to work with Pratibha again.
