To Whom It May Concern,

It is with great pleaswe that I recommend Ms. Kylie Dazzo for your advertised position. I taught Kylie in several news editorial courses at the University of Southern Mississippi and have also advised her on matters of academic and professional endeavors. In addition, I am aware of her academic performance in other courses at the university in which she has performed quite well. During my specific classroom and personal experiences with her, I found Kylie to be self-motivated, ambitious, and completely professional. She has also demonstrated an excellent understanding of course material
and has engaged in class discussions in meaningful and insightful ways.

Further, Kylie is assertive and hardworking - qualities that I know are important in any professional endeavor. She successfully completed media courses in the university's foreign exchange student program with Swansea University in Swansea, Wales (UK) and worked as a books editorial intem withNational Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. She is also actively involved in several campus organizations such as Student Eagle Club, the Legacy, and Chi Omega. In addition, Kylie has maintained an excellent academic record while participating in these activities and is a Dean's List and Presidential Scholar.

Finally, I am most impressed by Kylie's professionalism and resolve. She is among a small number of students I have come across who possess the character and determination necessary for success in most academic and professional endeavors. As such, I strongly recommend Kylie for your position. You will be acquiring an individual who is already well on the path towards excellent work. If you have questions in regard to this letter or my knowledge of Kylie's abilities, please contact me using the information provided on this letterhead.
Sincerely,
