“I have had the opportunity to study with Priya as well as work with her as consultants at the Harvey Mudd College Writing Center. I am continuously amazed by her dedication, intelligence, and creativity when approaching any problem that comes her way. She is an extremely capable software developer and an excellent writer. In addition, in the Writing Center and in class she shows how skillfully she can explain difficult and complex concepts artfully and clearly. She is an asset to any team. She can always be counted on to surpass the expectations of any project or commitment.”
