To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Melissa Hernandez, a former student of mine at Florida Atlantic
University. I had the pleasure of having Ms. Hernandez in my Painting course. She proved to
be a top pupil in that class, despite not having taken many courses previously. She excelled
in the course due to her talent, enthusiasm and diligent work ethic. She showed leadership by
taking risks and helping her fellow stud ents. Her work was superior to that of many other art
majors that I have taught at various institutions.
I understand that Ms. Hernandez intends to pursue a career in a school's atmosphere and
ultimately an art education track. I think that work in this field would be a great combination
of her talents as an artist and her interest in helping others through education. I
wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Hernandez for this position and I am certain she will
succeed . She is an exemplary student and person; The education system would benefit
greatly from her efforts.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Atzberger
