“Sandhya Nankani not only led the team that completely overhauled our website (both content and production), but she contributed greatly to the vision of the site and through it, our company’s growth as well. She represents my ideal collaborator: she works diligently, cooperatively, and is always an invaluable source of both support and leadership. Her talents span many different domains. She knows how to move a project along and get the most out of a range of peoples’ strengths, and she’s able to see the big picture while never losing site of even the smallest details. She is clearly the person you want in charge of projects that are innovative.” –Erick Gordon, founding director, Student Press Inititiative
