    On a personal note, whenever there were things to discuss with my team and I needed an HR or People perspective, Shelina was always my first port of call because I knew I could trust her honesty and would leave the conversation having considered all sides and all potential outcomes. It's this access to her fast knowledge that I miss greatly.
