"I have had the good fortune of working with Dr. Nathenson on several community improvement projects in my community - she has a knack of looking at issues or barriers from a comprehensive and positive perspective that lends itself to problem-solving and innovative solutions. She’s bright and intelligent woman, but the best word to describe her is "inspirational". She is a guiding light for those who know her."
