“Aliya, it has been a pleasure to work with you. You are an amazing at what you do - you have an incredible ability to reach the right media outlets, generate interest for our cause and best of all, and your calm in the face of ever changing challenges working with very high-strung and demanding personalities is a credit to you.”

"If you are looking for a well-rounded person to work with, Aliya is that person. I was first introduced to Aliya's great work ethic when we worked together at Toronto's all news channel, CP24. Aliya started as a news writer, who quickly showed her talents in being a news producer. She was a valuable member of the news team, who showed great judgement and thoroughness in her work. Our paths crossed again when I joined the public service, and we hired the PR firm for which Aliya was working. Aliya was assigned to our file.”
