        I had the pleasure to work with Azaan at Starbucks for over a year. We were part of the same hiring group and even from the beginning I could tell that Azaan would be a great person to work with. One thing that struck me about Azaan was his communication skills. Azaan often took the initiative to open conversations with both customers and coworkers alike. Part of what made Azaan great as communicating was his authenticity. Whenever Azaan asked a question there was genuine curiosity behind it. It was and still is easy speaking with Azaan due to his articulation and demeanor.

        Azaan is a extremely ambitious individual who understands what it takes to lead a team and organization. I met Azaan when he first joined the Leadership Scholars Program at CSUF and was impressed by how little time it took for him to develop as one of the key leaders of the program. Azaan always gave the extra effort to personally get to know as many people within the organization as possible and quickly gained the respect of his peers. I also had the pleasure to be in the same group as Azaan for our Marketing Analytics class final. Azaan's creativity, approach to solving problems, and understanding of analytic software were key attributes to the success of our project. Azaan's guidance, consistent work ethic, and attention to detail when working on the project allowed our team to finish far before the deadline and catch some avoidable mistakes. I'm excited to see how Azaan will grow in the upcoming years and insure he will have success wherever he ends up.
