What industry leaders say about my work

"Smart, curious, eager—among Lelah's many virtues, her colleagues will notice these first. I hired Lelah for our 2024-2025 federated identity management internship program. She worked hard to master the program's challenging background material. I'm particularly impressed with her ability to learn new techniques and technologies hands-on. And her positive energy is so infectious! As a team member or a leader, Lelah earns my highest recommendation."
