Becky Webber
It isn’t often I can write a letter of recommendation without ANY reservations, this letter is one of those few. I’m writing in reference for Kelly Simon. Kelly has been an INVALUABLE resource for our agency. She is committed, conscientious, and caring. She always keeps the welfare of the kids we serve at the forefront of every decision she makes. We feel very fortunate to have had Kelly as an employee. Her work ethic has allowed us to serve even more children who need and want our services. She is always willing to do what needs to be done; and her efforts are always to the best of her abilities. She has made our lives SO much easier, and we will miss her greatly. I can recommend her without hesitation for any position she chooses to tackle. If you need any further information or have questions about Kelly's service, please don’t hesitate to contact me at bbrosis@bbbsyc.org
