“Shaneen is a highly competent and exceptional colleague. She manages a complex and challenging project at University of Westminster, coordinating the implementation of our Active Bystander project, which seeks to prevent sexual harassment and abuse. She works effectively with all staff - from our Vice-Chancellor onwards - as well as with our Student Union and the wider student body. Her passion and drive inspire all who come into contact with her. I am continuously impressed by her ability to manage a very demanding workload and to deliver tangible outputs. Her work is having a significant impact at Westminster, one which could not be achieved without her combination of professional knowledge, organisational skills and outstanding ability to persuade and influence"
