Recommendation
“Brilliant is the term that comes to mind when I think about Aishwarya. I had rarely come across a talent like her, and she remains one of the most knowledgeable people I know and have worked with. She was appointed my mentor for research proposal and thesis drafting during my Postgraduate Diploma in Guidance and Counselling from the Department of Psychology, BHU.
Aishwarya assisted me with data analysis and interpretation and offered valuable advice in thesis formatting. I appreciate her reliableness and responsiveness. It was not even once that she left me without a solution on encountering any problem or confusion. I was highly impressed with her ability to utilize a wide variety of research methods and tools, her distinct perspective on concepts and problems- all grounded with a hard dose of common sense and facts, and her methodological and nuanced thinking. Under her mentorship, I gained various skills that helped me in every aspect and have improved my academic writing.
She is highly adaptable, encouraging, and supportive. I would rate her very highly, not just for her knowledge and skills but also for her ability to remain calm and patient. I recommend and endorse Aishwarya and wish her success.”
