“I worked together with Charishma on the board of Arc @ UNSW, which Charishma served on as part of her role as President of the UNSW SRC. Charishma was an excellent director who brought thoughtful, well-prepared ides and contributions to the board room and committees. During the time we served together the board faced some challenging strategic decisions about the future direction of the organisation, and Charishma's thoughts and inputs brought important and different perspectives to those debates. I would happily work with Charishma again in future.”
