April 9, 2012 To Whom It May Concern: I have been asked to write a letter of reference for Nikki Baum, and I do so enthusiastically. I have worked with Nikki in several contexts: I was a professor for several classes that she took from me at Utah State University, she has been my Teaching Assistant for two of my USU classes, and I have worked with her when she acted in a theatrical production for which I was producer at the American West Heritage Center, where I was Program Director. In all of these situations, Nikki has proven herself to be outstandingly reliable, creative and warm. Nikki has a friendliness about her that is contagious. She reaches out to help others and always manages to be charming and tolerant. She adds a positive mood and atmosphere to the situations in which she is involved. She also fulfills her obligations reliably and with a smile. Her talents spread into many areas that I have noticed. Not only is she a talented actor, she is also a skilled teacher and supervisor. She is organized and even tempered. I heartily recommend her! If you have any questions about Nikki that I may be able to answer, I hope youll contact me. Sincerely,

David Sidwell
