I was immediately impressed with his ability to get things done. Soon enough, he became the corporate liaison for IEEE and did an outstanding job. Most recently, Adrian has been leading SEBA's Mentorship Program. To be able to lead such a massive project requires dedication, effort, and organizational skills. He has taken all the information (such as student feedback, mentor biographies, contact information, and marketing materials) and provided them in a clean and organized way. This has helped me quickly organize the meetings with the mentors and mentees, benefiting everyone involved in the process. As mentioned before, Adrian is a doer -- pushing himself to get stuff done. From his own blog to the giant communities he has built on Facebook and LinkedIn, he brings people together. This is why I highly recommend Adrian.
