Recommendation Letter - Dave C.

I met Laura Thomas on a corporate event in Orlando in August of 2016. A long-time coworker recommended her as an Event Coordinator, and we’ve been working together ever since. Since that time Laura has worked hard to hold her own and exceed expectation. She is very dedicated to her work reaching out ahead of each job to see if she can be of assistance, shows up early, and exemplifies a willingness to do step up whenever something is asked of her. She has a passion for the event industry and always shows an eagerness to learn more. Over the years I’ve known her, she has become more than a colleague but also a friend. Laura has a strong work ethic, is polite and always has a positive attitude. In addition, her friendly demeanor and professionalism brings about atmosphere of community on every show she is on.
