Bio
Wendy Baxter
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Leigh Taylor. I have known Leigh as a friend and business associate for nine years, and have found her to be a reliable and conscientious person. She was a volunteer soccer coach for the local YMCA where we met and instantly made a connection. Soon thereafter, I entrusted her to watch my children over the next few years while I worked a full-time job. They still consider her a very close part of our family. In many situations, Leigh has proven herself to be considerate, very trustworthy and honest. I have also found Leigh to be an intelligent individual, who is willing to take the lead in most situations. Her keen sense of judgment has been important on several occasions, and she has provided loyal support for me and my family and business associates. Leigh is one of the hardest working people I know. I admire her tenacity and drive as a single mother to work three part-time jobs while attending college to obtain a master’s degree. Leigh is teacher at heart… in her spare time, she helps others by coaching them in improving their personal resume. A few months ago, she volunteered her time to give a presentation to a group of construction professionals for me on
Sara Altenburger
Leigh was an amazing supervisor. I loved being able to report to her at UNOH. She knew how to help me and all of the other current students and alumni with creating job searches, resumes, and learning many other useful tips in finding employment and careers. She has a great personality, is very caring, and has a good will to help others in any way possible. Leigh puts others first in anything and everything she does. I would love to work with or for Leigh again.
