Re: Letter of Recommendation -Ms. Lourdes Boudet-Marcet It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Lourdes Boudet-Marcet, who recently held a position with Munilla Construction Management, LLC (MCM), based out of Miami, Florida. As the Director of Marketing and Pursuits for MCM, I have worked closely with Lourdes, who made valuable contributions to our team while with the firm. During our time working together, Lourdes used her talents to assist with the preparation of proposals, which included gathering and organizing content, creating graphics, and following up with team members, both internal and external; coordinating corporate and project specific events, where she often represented the firm; and other general administrative duties. Over the period of time of our working relationship, I have found Lourdes to be an honest, forthright and hardworking employee who on several occasions made both the team and the firm's best interests her first priority. Her interpersonal skills and outgoing personality made it much easier to coordinate with other office personnel and facilitate the completion of tasks in a timely manner. I am pleased to recommend Ms. Lourdes Boudet-Marcet for her experience, dedication, and professionalism, and know that she would be a valuable addition to any entity interested in employing her.
