Letter Of Recommendation

Micaela Shavell, (720) 940-8569, m.shevell06@gmail.com, I'm writing to highly recommend Mariah for your internship program. I've had the pleasure of coaching alongside her on our volleyball team, and in that time, I've gotten to see firsthand just how passionate, driven, and dependable she is-especially when it comes to supporting young people. Mariah is a natural when it comes to working with others. She handles stressful situations with grace and always remains a calming, steady presence even when things get chaotic. Whether it's resolving conflict, adjusting on the fly during a game, or managing team logistics, she always shows up ready to tackle whatever's thrown her way. One of Mariah's biggest strengths is her willingness to jump in wherever she's needed. She's not someone who waits to be asked-if she sees something that needs doing or someone who needs help, she's there. She's constantly thinking about how to improve every aspect of our players' experiences, from team morale to individual development. Her enthusiasm and outgoing personality make her incredibly easy to talk to, and our players genuinely trust and look up to her. Given her dedication, emotional intelligence, and team-first mentality, I have no doubt she'd be an incredible asset in a role supporting kids who are navigating difficult circumstances. Mariah has the heart, the work ethic, and the resilience to make a real difference in their lives. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to hear more about her many strengths.
