To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Norma Jean
Bucelato. I have known and worked with Norma for more than 10 years. During this
time, I have found her to be committed, curious, and collaborative. She is willing to take
on challenges, find solutions, and implement best practices. In my former role as
Administrative Assistant to the Associate Dean of Applied Technologies at
the College of Southern Nevada, I had the opportunity to work with Norma on a number
of grant projects over several years. She identified current grant opportunities and
effectively communicated how departments could apply for these funds. Upon
notification of grant awards she provided strong leadership, kept the team focused on
project tasks and monitored project timelines.
When CSN’s Resource Development Office of had an opening for administrative
support, I was delighted to have the opportunity to work directly with Norma. She is a
compassionate supervisor who encouraged my professional development and created
opportunities for me to expand my skills and my role in the department. While serving in
the Resource Development Office, I worked closely with her and observed her work
ethic, self-motivation and attention to detail. She is passionate about her work and enjoys
the satisfaction of shepherding a successful project from idea to completion. Norma
possesses extensive knowledge and experience in the resource development profession.
Her abilities in researching funding opportunities, crafting successful grant proposals,
assembling key stakeholders into advisory boards, and building effective project teams
are exemplary.
If you are looking for a candidate who values collaboration, making decisions based on
information and best practices, I hope you consider Norma Bucelato. Her experience,
philosophy, and attitude will be an asset in any program she joins. If I can be of further
assistance, please do not hesitate contact me attherese.gaudreau@csn.edu or
702-651-5775.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
M. Therese Gaudreau
Administrative Assistant to the Dean
School of Education, Behavioral and Social Sciences
College of Southern Nevada
