I first met Dara in person (we had met on skype before) when she picked me up at the train station for my on campus job interview in 2012. I was pretty nervous about the interview process, and Dara must have sensed it. She was so welcoming and easy going, she made a few jokes and laughed and pretty soon I felt completely at ease with her, and with the rest of the interview. Dara also made me feel from the beginning as an integral part of the Latin American section in our department. She has been a great colleague and friend and I will miss her, and her ability to put people at ease no matter the situation...
