To Whom It May Concern:

It is a great honor and privilege to write this letter of recommendation for Monica

Sanchez. As a business teacher at the Leeds School of Business, I have had the

opportunity to personally get to know her and witness her academic growth, as well as,

her remarkable leadership abilities. I have known Monica for the past several years and

she is an extremely intelligent individual and very mature beyond her years. Besides

possessing excellent business acumen skills, Monica has an unbelievable determination

and passion for business and her personality lights up a room upon her entrance.

Monica is studying Operations Management and will be graduating in May 2016, while

also studying abroad in the upcoming Fall 2015 semester. Monica has been an extreme

pleasure to have in the classroom, completing all assignments on time and with the

highest quality and professionalism. Monica got along with all of the other students and

ensured that she got the most of the learning experience here at the University of

Colorado – Boulder, by coming to office hours and participating in many extracurricular

activities, like the Leeds Student Ambassadors and held an executive position a Delta

Sigma Pi, one of the business fraternities on campus. Monica has also worked at the

Dean’s Office Welcome Desk and has been a Teaching Assistant for one of my

colleagues here at Leeds. Monica has also mentored other students in several different

disciplines.

Regarding her leadership capabilities, I personally witnessed her lead a team of fellow

students in an Ethnics Case Competition where they made it to the final round of the

competition mainly because of Monica Sanchez.

In my opinion, I think Monica is an exceptional student and is also very ambitious. I can

say with the utmost sincerity that Monica would thrive and excel in anything she puts her

mind to, just like she did here at the Leeds School of Business. I also believe that Monica

will be very successful and a great role model for others. Please feel free to contact me if

you have any questions about Monica Sanchez.

Sincerely,

Don Oest
