Bonds is additionally commended on her teamwork, as she is known to work cooperatively with peers and seek the most fruitful solution to any problems that may arise.

“I am honored to be a recipient of this award,” Bonds said. “It was a great surprise to me, and I appreciate those who took notice of my work. I am so grateful to work with people who are always willing to help each other succeed. This award strengthens my confidence to continue to provide the highest level of excellence.”
