Elizabeth King, MBA, PMP
To Whom It May Concern: I am honored to write a letter of reference for Valarie Cook. I had the privilege of meeting and learning alongside Valarie while we pursued our Masters of Business Administration at Northwood University DeVos Graduate School of Business. My first impression of Valarie was a hard worker, competitive, and has a fierce passion for excellence. My first impression held true throughout our entire two years together. Valarie came to the table with an unrelenting commitment to the program while raising her children and working full-time. Her positivity and sly sense of humor brought our cohort together and kept us working through our program as a cohesive unit – she has a great skill set for building rapport with her peers and for leading her peers to the finish line. Throughout the program I witnessed Valarie take feedback on her work and her contribution with class. She immediately incorporated her feedback into the next assignment or the next group interaction. I strongly believe that her openness to coaching and feedback drives her pursuit to be the best. She always puts forth immense effort and continuously improves. Valarie is a life-long learner and an inspiration for her peer group. I strongly recommend Valarie as a top candidate based on her strong character, her openness to ideas, and her drive. Valarie is the strongest asset a leader can have at their disposal and I look forward to seeing the great work she will accomplish in the career she pursues. Very Respectfully, Elizabeth King
