To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Dustin B. Lynn-Becket for the position with your organization. I have known Dustin for about 15 years and have had the opportunity to work with him with on many different projects. I am an independent evaluation consultant often hired by public agencies (e.g., New Jersey Department of Human Services, New Jersey Department of Education), nonprofit and philanthropic organizations (e.g., Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians, Hartford Foundation for Public Giving), and private research organizations (Metis Associates, OMG Center for Collaborative Learning). I have used Dustin as an administrative assistant, data entry manager and junior analyst on multiple projects. I have also recommended him to work on projects at other client organizations.

My experiences with Dustin have all been very positive. I have found him to be a consistent, thoughtful and detail-oriented consultant and data manager. He has handled confidential and complex files for me on multiple occasions (as recently as last week), and I am also completely comfortable asking him to talk directly to clients, conduct phone surveys, or handle large-scale mailings if needed. He routinely establishes databases for me in Excel (in preparation for use in SPSS with which he is familiar) and requires little guidance or oversight after an initial briefing on project goals. Dustin is an effective communicator both in writing and orally and he is a dependable, organized, loyal and pleasant person to work with.

On every project Dustin has worked on for me he has completed all deliverables on time and with minimal oversight. He is comfortable interacting directly with clients and working as part of a team. I am confident he will contribute to your department and I hope he is afforded the opportunity to pursue this interest. If I can be of any further assistance regarding his application, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Anita M. Baker, Ed.D.
