Coupled with her tremendous technical knowledge, Zafiro's experience and insight allow her to anticipate and head off problems in advance. She has both personal and professional integrity and is passionate about her work. Zafiro is a detail-oriented professional who is well versed in municipal codes and construction practices and uses her experience in a wide variety of projects to oversee complex issues resolved, from inception through completion. Zafiro's global experience also gives her a unique perspective. Many candidates have professional and technical skills at the upper end of their peers, but Zafiro also has life experiences and a global viewpoint which sets her apart and above most others.

Having had the pleasure of working closely with Zafiro over the past two years, I can confidently say that she possesses an exceptional skill set and unwavering dedication to excellence in planning and construction that have made her an invaluable asset to our organization.

Zafiro's has a rare ability to articulate complex ideas with clarity, ensuring that all stakeholders are fully informed and engaged throughout the planning process. Her proficiency in presenting ideas to diverse audiences allows her to bridge the gap between technical jargon and layman's terms, thus fostering transparency and fostering a sense of cooperation among all parties involved. For example, in my work within the city of Evanston, Zafiro was able to communicate between the architect, client (myself), Historic Preservation Commission and city planners to arrive at creative solutions to advance a construction project.

Indeed, one of Zafiro's most outstanding traits is her remarkable ability to work harmoniously with stakeholders from all walks of life. She understands the importance of inclusivity in the planning process and consistently strives to create an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Her open-mindedness and willingness to consider multiple perspectives ensure that the decisions made are well-rounded and reflect the best interests of the community as a whole.
