Regarding: Ke’Auna Leonard
To Whom It May Concern:
I have known Ke’Auna Leonard for over six years. I first met her in February 2006 when she worked as a cook in the dietary department of The Heatherwood Retirement Community for which I am the Regional Marketing Director. It was our loss when she left to pursue another job.
Ke’Auna always impressed me with her professionalism, her willingness to do whatever was needed to get the job done, her cooperative manner in working with her peers, and last but not least her smile. She enjoyed her job and it showed as she spoiled our residents with service, attention and kindness.
Ke’Auna is the type of individual that anyone would want to work for and with them. She is very motivated, ambitious and eager to improve her talents which are many.
In my opinion, Ke’Auna would be a welcomed asset for any organization thinking of hiring her. She’s dependable, always there to help out and always willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Ke’Auna for any position she may be applying for.
Feel free to call me at the number below if you like.
