Cover Letter

To Whom it May Concern:

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, with a Bachelor of

Science in Public Relations. My professional work experiences have required

self-motivation with the ability to focus and use good judgment. I have also

learned to handle multiple projects with changing priorities. The ability to

identify and solve problems, handle and diffuse difficult situations,

function as a team player and accept constructive feedback contributes to my

professional and personal success. I am skilled in using Microsoft Office

programs, and I learn specialized software applications quickly.

Please see my resume, and contact me if you are interested in discussing my qualifications and background.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Alison Downey
