To whom it may concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Angela Carollo, a Master’s student studying Business Administration – Marketing at Central Michigan University. I have known Angela for two years, and my evaluation of her professional abilities and attitude is based on her involvement with two classes that I teach -- JRN 551 Case Studies in Public Relations and JRN 556 Public Relations Seminar. Angela has been a guest speaker in these classes sharing with students her expertise in social media management. Most importantly, she supervised about 50 students enrolled in JRN 556 as they worked for Social Cafe, a full-service social media marketing and branding agency and a division of Central Michigan Life media.
Angela is a natural leader and mentor. She excels in teaching. I am certain her letter of application details her extensive teaching record. I can say my undergraduate students love her personality and respect her expertise in advertising, social media, writing, research and analytics. She is a recognized expert in the areas she teaches.
Angela always makes sure her classes are interesting, focused and useful for students. She is
passionate about teaching and preparing students for media careers. She treats students with great respect, while continually challenging them to achieve more than they thought possible. Students return that respect to her.
Her work ethic is above reproach. She possesses the broad skill-set required to be an effective instructor. I give Angela my highest recommendations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Elina Erzikova, Ph.D.
