Dear Siror Madame,
It is with great plsasurc that I recommend Olivia Melanson for your undergraduate program.
Olivia interned in my omce as a summer Serate intern. Olivia is a highly capable, intelligent
individual witlt great enthusiasm and a tremendous work ethic.
Olivia completed her intern duties of policy research, writing assignments, handling constituent
cases and tracking legislation with a high level of professionalism and quality. Not only did she
acclimate quickly to the demands of the office, Olivia was also extraordidarily helpful in other
areas such as drafting and writing rcsponse letters to constituents and town officials, answering
constiilent phone calls, compiling press rcleases and news articleq and researehing a multitude
of legislotive topics and initiatives. Olivia also rnade suIE to requBst feedbrck on lrer work in
order to self'evaluate what she had completed. Herdetcrmination t'o meet goals and expectations
was clearly dernonstrated by easily adapting to any prcject.
Each day is diffetent in the State House, ard Olivia $as sble to not only succeed, but excel in the
high-pressure afirosphere. Olivia will be a tremendous asset to the college or university that she
chooses. Olivia has my highest recommendation, and please do not hesitate to contact tne if you
need ary further information.
Thank you for your csnsideration.
