Recommendations
I first met Ahmed through school at Algonquin College. Despite us being a couple year’s apart in our mutual degree, he has always played a key role in creating success and recognition for our BHTM program. This year I have been given the opportunity to work directly with Ahmed through the BHTM Student and Alumni Society. As president, he has shown dedication to the success of the society and its future direction. Ahmed has proven to show excellent time management skills through the planning of meetings, events, and other on-going activities. He also will always make time to meet one-on-one to discuss relevant goals, problems, and solutions. Ahmed’s passion for creating success for himself and others cannot go unrecognized.
Ahmed is a motivated and intelligent student who has worked hard to gain a great knowledge of the hospitality and tourism industry. For the last three years Ahmed has been a student of mine in the financial courses for the Bachelor's in Hospitality and Tourism Management at Algonquin College. During this time Ahmed has shown strong work ethic, a great ability to help others through his tutoring and analytical and problem solving abilities. Ahmed is not only reliable and forward thinking, but he has also been a great team player as he has lead our Students Alumni Society to some innovative changes. I recommend Ahmed for any path that he chooses as he would be an asset for any company.
Since joining the BHTM Student and Alumni Society Ahmed has demonstrated exceptional expertise in leadership. His improvements to the Society have increased productivity and communication amongst all our Board Members. He is a motivated and hardworking individual both in his role as Vice President and Chairman, but also in his studies at Algonquin College. He is dedicated to the hospitality industry and he consistently demonstrates a solid work ethic. He is capable, motivated, and forward-thinking. I would highly recommend Ahmed both as a team player and as a leader.
