Nuella is very committed - the type of person that would see any task to not just any end, but a successful one. Nuella is very smart and resourceful, which are qualities I’d personally prioritize when picking people to work with. Empathy is also a super power Nuella has, which is unfortunately what we are seeing less and less in today's work environment.

Nuella is a definition of diligence, great kindness, and fervent commitment to anything she is doing and anyone she works closely with. She sincerely and willingly gives more than a 100%. Nuella has an excellent spirit. I really admire Nuella's teachability attitude also. I remember being in college with Nuella, and I would see her balance things excellently; like when it's library time, she is studying to get the right understanding, and when it's time for family and friends, she is equally there to support and strengthen. Also when it's project/team-work time, she is always there to contribute. Nuella is a beautiful imperfect being, journeying towards perfection each day. I love her desire to keep being better always.
