Nichole Q.
March 28,2018 To whom it may concern: I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Jennifer Bell .I first met Jennifer sixteen years ago at the Muscular Dystrophy Summer Camp in Brandon Florida. Over this period, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Jennifer both from a professional as well as a personal level. During this time, I have spent considerable time working directly with Jennifer when we were working closely with muscular dystrophy kids. From the beginning, it was very evident that she is very devoted to her career and is someone whom I have gained much respect for due to her intelligence and diligence. Without exception, she puts the wellbeing of her position working with the muscular dystrophy association and neuromuscular population first. Feeling as I do that the key to good organization of events for the neuromuscular disease population of people is compassion. This is well demonstrated by her close relationship and care of the neuromuscular disease population. Her devotion to the neuromuscular disease population and the families is truly a testament to the kind hearted and loyal person Jennifer is. Jennifer is extremely personable and approachable and always with a smile on her face. She is well organized and thrives under adversity. Very goal oriented, Jennifer is always punctual and meticulous with everything that she is involved in. Jennifer is ready for new challenges in her career and desires to learn and grow further. Knowing this desire first hand, I have no hesitation in recommending Jennifer Bell as a candidate to your institution. I feel confident she will be an asset to any program and will be an outstanding individual in any capacity. Sincerely, Nichole Quatman, RN, BSN
