“To sum up Baki in one phrase: she's All The Things. To know Baki is to see lightning in action- she is a self-starter, super-motivated, creative, energetic and resourceful. She is deeply passionate about helping young people succeed in their careers and it shows in the way she puts so much effort and care into every event that she plans, every video she shares and through the relationships she builds. If there's an opportunity , you can count on Baki to roll up her sleeves and do the work to make it happen. As an individual, Baki is also a role model and community advocate through her work with Miss Danbury CT-- a natural fit for someone who is so eager to share information, knowledge and resources with everyone she meets. Her multi-faceted background is an asset that she brings with her to everything she does. Baki is a pleasure to work with -- always willing to lend a helping hand, and encouraging word or a thoroughly detailed strategy... she truly does All-The-Things.”
