To whom it may concern, I am writing to recommend Alaina Jones for any Marketing / Communications position. I have known Alaina Jones for almost 5 years now, and I have nothing but positive words to explain her and her work ethic. She has developed and directed a Marketing team as my Marketing Manager for the last 2 years. Alaina has the drive, determination, and willingness to complete projects on time. She also does a great job of holding others accountable for their project tasks. Alaina would be a fabulous fit for any company looking to add a great team player to their organization. Regards, Alan Crupper Senior Vice President Red Devil Inc.
