Re: Kate-Lynn Burbo
To whom it may concern:
It is my pleasure to write a letter of reference for my former student, Kate-Lynn Burbo.
Kate-Lynn and I had classes together several times while she was working toward her
degree in medical assisting at the Community College of Vermont, where I work as an
instructor.
Kate-Lynn is a responsible and reliable person and a pleasure to work with. Her
assignments were always timely and well-prepared and she received high grades for her
excellent work. She is well-suited to working with the public and will undoubtedly be an
asset to any employer.

8. To Whom It May Concern,
Kate-Lynn was an engaged student who was always eager to learn
new information. She was very detailed oriented. Her class work was
submitted on time and always at the college level.
She contributed during class discussion and was available to help her
peers during class lab time. There were some obstacles that she
encountered but overcame them with maturity and professionalism.
I feel that she would be an asset to any medical practice and
encourage her to continue her education in the medical field.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Jane Doe
