“Alamin is exactly what you need in a high-functioning team. Quick, earnest and analytical in his position at NBC News. He goes above and beyond the expectations of the position and pleasantly surprises you with his display on a variety of talents, all with clear focus and professionalism. I’m thrilled to join the Alamin fan club and look forward to seeing his career grow.”

“Alamin has a unique combination of talent, drive, passion and humility. I first noticed this combo when we volunteered together at NewFest, which produces the annual NY LGBTQ Film Festival, and it’s the reason I asked him to help me launch NBC OUT, NBC News’ LGBTQ website. His ability to write articles, produce videos and simultaneously manage multiple social media platforms has been crucial to the success of our site. He’s also an idea generator, consistently pitching story ideas and broader social and digital initiatives. And, perhaps most importantly, he takes pride in his work and is completely humble despite being a total superstar.”

“Alamin is the epitome of a team player: passionate, flexible, supportive, creative, cool under pressure, and, above all, an absolute pleasure to work with.
I am most impressed by how he takes ownership of every task in front of him – from writing and reporting to crafting social posts to producing videos to overseeing month-long special feature roll-outs – and works consistently to improve content to connect with the right audiences.
Alamin also actively seeks out ways to improve his own skills and gain new ones to contribute to the quality and range of content he produces. He is able to tackle any subject matter, but especially shines at entertainment content. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and enthusiastically recommend him.”

“We have to create a new word for Alamin because nothing can really sum him up. He is extremely diligent and thoughtful about his work. He delivers on time and ensures to keep lines of communication open. He would be a great asset to any social media team as he thinks quickly on his feet and imparts creative thought at every turn. I hope to continue working with him in the future and seeing his growth. ”

“Alamin is one of the hardest working writers who’s ever worked for me, is always on top of the sort of content that fits the brand of the site and is an extremely fast learner. His writing has improved tenfolds in the short few months he’s been with Up and Comers, he adapted quickly to the site’s style guidelines, and he keeps improving at such a pace that he can now publish directly to web without much editorial oversight. He also has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and is proactive in asking for more responsibilities in order to learn even more.”

“Alamin is focused, kind, and works for the success of the team. He exemplified excellent communication, friendliness towards his coworkers and a strong work ethic during his time with the Bushwick Film Festival. I was continually impressed by his eagerness to contribute new ideas for the success of the Festival. His thoroughness in his work ensured that he followed through on each project given to him proving himself to be responsible and reliable. I was happy to have him on our team; I strongly recommend him to any potential employer.”
