Colleagues describe her as "I cannot say enough great things about Sisi Wei. I had the fortunate pleasure of working with Sisi during one of DataKind's datacorp projects. What started as a weekend project turned into a 6 month project which Sisi managed. I was simply there for the ride! I was MOST impressed with her abilities as a project manager as she moved the project forward, managed a pool of volunteers, set short term and long-term goals and ultimately created new interactive web-based tools for our organization. I was truly amazed. What was most amazing about Sisi was her unwavering commitment to the process and project. I was truly touched. There were so many unknowns as it was a project that was truly undefined and innovative (aka brand new) and for some this may have intiminated them but for Sisi – it was an opportunity and she seized it. I feel so fortunate to have meet a wonderul young visionary like Sisi and I am hoping in 10 years I can work for her!" and "Sisi is not only talented at presenting data in unique and innovative ways, but also genuinely excited about what she does. She's enthusiastic, open to new ideas and generally a joy to work with. She's well-versed in multimedia production, and if she doesn't know how to make something work, she'll learn in about two seconds. Sisi turns "wouldn't this be cool" ideas into reality. I highly recommend her -- she would be an asset to any company or project."
