She performed her duties with integrity and professionalism whether it was organizing youth groups for training sessions or assisting with the 25 Most Remarkable Teens Programme she served well.
She was very dependable and could be called upon to handle varied tasks at any time. She was also our friend, one who would inform us about delicious eats, because Shensia loved to eat or when certain shoe stores had sale.
