Phlebotomist, cna, therapy aid, AA in science

To Whom It May Concern July **, ****

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Christina Burnett. I have known Christina for over two years now, both professionally and personally.

Christina was a physical therapist assistant working in the office I was referred to, where I was helped by her during my entire physical therapy sessions. At all times she was very professional, took her time with me to make sure I was working out properly and was very pleasant to everyone in the office. I knew then what a wonderful person she is and we became friends when my treatments were completed.

I have seen Christina in many different situations such as social settings, outdoor activities, interacting with other family members and mutual friends and she is always fun to be around, kind, helpful and just a well rounded person.

She has worked very hard to advance her education and I am very proud of her for that. I know she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. She has achieved so much already, all while being a single parent, active in her community, working and going to school.

If you would like to call me regarding my letter of recommendation please feel free to, my cell phone number is 734-***-****

Sincerely,

Laurie K. Vandermade
