It is such a great pleasure for me to write this letter of recommendation for Retno Kusuma Ningrum for her graduate studies in Marine and Natural Resources Management. I have known Retno professionally for 4 years since 2018. I met her for the first time when she was an intern at LINI Foundation. My professional relationship continues with her as she became the Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) officer in one of LINI’s projects in 2020, and is currently proposed as a teaching fellow for one of LINI’s programme. Our last coordination was on February 2022 to discuss LINI’s internship programme where she can contribute as a teaching fellow for the interns which is planned to start at the beginning of March 2022. She had performed her duties successfully with her best efforts and abilities by completing all tasks assigned meticulously. I assigned coordination and implementation of the FIP project in Jakarta to Retno and monitored her performance which she had completed in an ethical manner and professionally. A complexity of deliverables that she had to produce with the limited time was difficult to handle and she was able to manage it successfully by providing several analysis documents on gender role and lesson learned in the tuna longline fishing industry in Jakarta which can be used as consideration of the next stages.
