What Others Say About Me

Feedback from Those Who Know Me Best—My Boss, Professor, and Colleague

David Lennarz

Co-founder/ Formal President of Registrar Corp

In 2005 I hired Ms. Nguyen to manage our nascent business in Vietnam. Over the years that followed, until she emigrated to Canada in 2024, she excelled in managing all aspects of what has become a significant number of clients and revenue for us in Vietnam. From organizing public relations and press activities, seminars and conferences, the hiring of additional staff, right on to managing our hundreds of clients, Ms. Nguyen functioned at a very high level and became highly respected not just by our internal U.S. and foreign team, but also by all of the government agencies, organizations, and clients she interacted with. Ms. Nguyen is smart, hardworking, dedicated, trustworthy, diligent, and always a real pleasure to work with. There are few people whom I have managed over the years that have all of her attributes and qualities. Wherever her professional career takes her, I am confident she will be equally valued.

Professor Kristen McLeod

Business Communication Instructor at Saskatchewan Polytechnic

I had the pleasure of teaching Thalia Nguyen in the Business Communications course at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and I remember her as a thoughtful, hardworking, and genuinely kind student. Thalia consistently approached her work with care and professionalism, participating fully in class and demonstrating a sincere commitment to improving her communication skills. Her written work was well-organized and clear, and she delivered her presentations with confidence and warmth. Thalia is the kind of person who contributes positively to any team environment—reliable, respectful, and eager to learn. I'm confident she will bring the same dedication and integrity to any role she pursues.

Vo Phuong Thanh Phan

Senior Regulatory Advisor / Formal Colleague

I really enjoyed working with Thu. She's a great leader and someone you can always count on. She stays calm even when things get stressful, explains things clearly, and sets a good example for everyone on the team. Thu is both thoughtful and practical. She handles tough situations well and always makes time to help others learn and grow. People trust her easily because she's kind, professional, and truly cares. Any team would be lucky to have someone like her.

Comment on the written report for topic: "Provide a comprehensive overview of the Canadian food and beverage processing industry, exploring its key characteristics, trends, challenges, and opportunities."

Of course you presented an engaging, beautifully designed, and beautifully delivered presentation! You clearly understand all the concept we covered in class, and your already strong delivery skills have only improved as you became more comfortable doing so in English this semester. I love the intruduction of humor - and it shows how that engagement with the audience is created by the presenter. Thank you for the work you put into this presentation, and all the attention to detail and course material. I am so excited to see you thrive in your life and career! I wasn't the only person impressed by your pitch as your classmates also recognized a job well done! Thalia, I know you have experience presenting and can draw on that, but to do so with such confidence and an approachable manner in another language is testament to preparation and practice. Excellent use of time to summarize the strong skills and strengths you bring to a potential employer. You used keywords like collaborate, adaptable, etc., but used them judiciously, so as not to overwhelm the listener. Well done, Thalia!

Comment on the report presentation for topic: "Provide a comprehensive overview of the Canadian food and beverage processing industry, exploring its key characteristics, trends, challenges, and opportunities."

This is wonderful, Thalia. I'm not surprised. I expected something comprehensive and thorough, and you delivered with strong analysis and writing. Feedback below and some notes on the document as well so look for those. You didn't just name the key industry players - you provided insight into trends and opportunities. I'm sorry I can't provide better feedback on the depth and quality of your work, but from my perspective, it is outstanding! What I can speak to, however, is the way you were able to capture information (and you sourced everything perfectly!) and write about it clearly and concisely. The graphics provide enhanced understanding and are well-placed. This is impressive. I really enjoyed reading this, and I'm confident you will excel - in your classes, and wherever you land in your career. Thank you for the work you put into this project.
