"I had the pleasure of working with Matinah for about 4 years in the HR Department at Bethel Homes. She was one of the smartest Directors I've worked with. She brought structure to the department defining everyone's roles and mentoring us to be the best we possibly could be. She always strived for excellence. She was very driven and goal oriented. We could always go to her for solutions to our problems but yet she would ask for our feedback when she was in need of some clarification on an employee issue. I witnessed her professionalism when situations presented to her became very challenging and believe me, she is not afraid of a challenge. She helped create reports that gave attention to detail that are still in use today. When Matinah attented a Labor Management or Department Head Meeting there was no doubt that what she brought to the table was a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the contracts, laws and policies as well as the diverse trole of the HR Department. Matinah wil be successful in any role she has the privilege of being given. I highly recommend her and wish her nothing but the best."
"I had the privilege to work with Ms. Drew for many years while working at a long term care facility. As a department head, At times I needed input and advice on policies and procedures, and all staff related issues. She was so helpful to me and always professional and courteous and willing to offer assistance and problem solving. I learned much about staff management from Matinah. Also, she is very knowledgable in the field of H.R. with much understanding of all the aspects of her role. She always demonstrated a calm and professional demeanor. I saw first hand her dedication to staff and working closely with management. She always worked to help resolve issues and worked tirelessly to help promote staff appreciation and morale within the facility. I enjoyed working with her planning special staff events in which she was creative and mindful of a very diverse staff and their needs."
