Ms. Garcia was a great asset to our organization. She was innovative, timely, and flexible, always willing to take on a new task with minimal guidance. Truly a team player!
Dr. Anita Stuckey Turner
June 8, 2018 To Whom It May Concern: Ms. Diana Garcia is my office manager at GAMES Charter School. She has proven herself to be reliable, organized, self-sufficient, and trustworthy. She has excellent time management, communication and problem-solving skills. In addition, Ms. Garcia is a consummate professional as the first contact for visits to the front office and conversations with parents, vendors, District personnel and the community-at-large. When students are sent to the office, it is not uncommon for Ms. Garcia to speak to students who may be upset about an incident on campus or helping students with their school work while they wait to see me or speak to their parent. These exemplary qualities are optimal for the position she seeks as a counselor. Ms. Garcia has a Bachelor’s degree in Latino Studies and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership Organization and Policy with a concentration on Diversity and Equity. She is talented, intelligent, articulate, kind, thoughtful and bilingual young lady! I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Diana Garcia for any position she seeks, because she would be a tremendous asset to any school, company, or organization! If you have any questions, please contact me at (323) 421-6092 (work) or (310) 686-1192 (cell) Sincerely, Dr. Anita J. Turner Dr. Anita J. Turner Principal
