Together, we rebooted a nonprofit organization to a sustainable scale in under 6 months - and there’s no one I would rather do this work with than him. He’s a team player with a solutions-driven work ethic and always seeks to uplift his colleagues. I’m incredibly grateful to call him a business partner!", "Imaan is a driven, hard working engineer and organizational team leader. At Fathhome, he executes responsibilities across a multitude of domains with a focus on scientific analysis and grant writing. By designing experiments and managing diverse partnerships across microbiology labs, government grant offices, and corporate partners Imaan has begun our march towards third party scientific validation of our underlying technologies. Most of all, Imaan is a pleasure to work with. I collaborate with and learn from him every day he's working with Fathhome. He is stimulating, incredibly receptive to feedback, and a person of good character whose unique insights make him a great asset to any organization he is partners with.", and "Imaan is the creative mind and the working machine behind Formal Without Borders (FWB), an event that allows several student organizations at UC Davis to raise money for their choice of nonprofit. I met Imaan when he was planning the third FWB and he trained me on how to put together this large scale event. Imaan noticed that the fundraising was an issue faced by many student clubs and in order to solve this problem he created FWB. After seeing the success of FWB, Imaan took his efforts to the next level and created Council for International Development. This organization created a space for student clubs that focus on international development to have an open dialogue on success and issues they faced. Bringing together over ten student organizations and different university stakeholders takes a lot of effective communication and hard work, which Imaan did flawlessly. Following Imaan's graduation, I organized the next for FWB and while Imaan and I have both graduated from UCD, there is a student out there who is planning the sixth FWB. Imaan's strong leadership skills and a clear vision has allowed him to leave a legacy at UC Davis. I'm so glad I got to be part of it and add to his contributions at Davis. Working with Imaan was an incredible experience, he radiants positive energy and I'm looking forward to our future collaborations."
