I am extremely pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Shavonne. Shavonne and I worked collaboratively at the American College of Surgeons, Committee on Trauma for about four and a half years and I found her a conscientious and very hardworking professional. One of the main reasons that Shavonne and I were successful coworkers on several projects, is her ability to explore and deliver on the bigger picture, while not losing sight of the finer details. In her role as Manager, Business Management at the Committee on Trauma, she met many challenges; her reason for success in meeting all these challenges head-on is her ability to chart out her limitations, focus on priorities and break down the impossible into smaller possibilities and successes. During the time that I worked with Shavonne, I’ve had the opportunity to observe her interpersonal style and found her to be an extremely pleasant individual who believes in continues positive motivation. I would describe her as a dedicated and enthusiastic individual who has a great desire for meeting deadlines. Shavonne is an accomplished multitasker who has ensured the efficacy of many projects running simultaneously. She is a bright, articulate, and very hard-working individual. Her enthusiasm for her jobs clearly shows in everything she does. Her positive attitude made her a pleasure to work with and one of the reasons she was well like by all her coworkers. Shavonne is an exceptional problem solver and outstanding communicator and has the skills and personality needed to be an exceptional leader and insightful mentor. I would wholeheartedly recommend Shavonne for any position she is considering. She would be a true assess to any prospective employer.

I have known and worked with Shavonne at the American College of Surgeons for more than two years and I must say she is an expert in the financial/operations/business industry. Shavonne is a calm, focused, and committed professional manager who is very easy to talk to. I found her dynamic style of leading, continuous personal and peer development, enthusiasm to take on an array of projects simultaneously, and drive- to be the most exemplary characteristics a business manager could hone. Shavonne has continued to help drive the association forward by developing new ideas to become fiscally efficient and effective, collaborating with departments to help streamline multiple processes, and being the subject matter expert in Trauma Business and Operations. Shavonne is sure to bring these attributes and more to any organization.
