Testimonials
"I first met Nikita Khalid as an undergraduate student in my honor’s class at Baruch
College, CUNY. It immediately became evident that she possessed exceptional talent
and upon her graduation, she was hired at a company I co-founded where she
assessed the efficacy of virtual roleplay conversations. These conversations played a
pivotal role in teaching mental health communication skills in critical areas such as
suicide prevention. Ms. Khalid was phenomenal as a researcher and statistician. Her
work resulted in numerous peer-reviewed journal publications, book chapters and
dozens of exceptionally well-delivered national conference presentations. Without any
doubt, she is a strategic planner, highly motivated, and has an incredible work ethic.
Combine these attributes with a heartfelt commitment to making a difference and you
have an exceptional team colleague."
