Please accept this letter of recommendation for Vanessa Higgins, who worked under my
supervision at the Escambia Dental Cooperative. Ms. Higgins performed several duties at
our charity dental clinic from August, 2009 to March, 2010. While doing the clinical
portion of her year-long Dental Assisting training at Pensacola State College, Ms. Higgins
both worked in clinical and administrative positions with the Escambia Dental Cooperative.
Our charity dental clinic serves the most vulnerable in our community, those who live
under the poverty level. It is both a fast paced and demanding environment meeting the
needs of our clients. During Ms. Higgins tenure at our clinic, she was a valuable asset in
both clinical and administrative roles. Her ability to relate to our patient population
was vital in both working chair side with our dental staff, on the telephone, and face to
face with clinic clients. Ms. Higgins was able to resolve client issues quickly and
confidently, and also worked to enhance our record-keeping system and office
communications to allow us to become more organized and more efficiently serve our
clients. Ms. Higgins initiative, as well as her problem solving skills, improved both our
office and clinic operations. This was most noticeable and appreciated. I highly recommend
Vanessa Higgins for any position she seeks in the future. The qualities that she showed
during her time with our clinic will no doubt prove to be most valuable to her future
employers. If you should require any further information, please feel free to contact me
at 850-***-****, or ******@*********.***. Sincerely, Ann L. Papadelias Program Manager
