        Aadil is a leader in the workplace, as my manager he would often be my thought partner in delving into innovation solutions for Job Sourcing, Curriculum, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and Support for our graduates. His leadership on the Diversity Action Council, created a network for me as a delegate to assist with DEI goals for our team. The Greater Boston Employment Placement team successfully reached 70% full-time jobs post-graduation for outcomes. We were able to achieve this with his team-player mentality, where he would often roll up his sleeves to assist team members with challenges and find constructive ways to move forward. I find this important in leadership, since there is no job too small and that we share the same goals. In 2020, we experienced many changes and Aadil was transparent and understanding through it all. He also embodies all the Year Up core values, but one that mattered to me was the Work Hard Have Fun and ensuring that no matter the hard work, that as a team we recognize the wins and being able to find creative and fun ways to engage team members, students, and alumni.
