It is my great pleasure to write this letter in support of Andrea Fernandes

accomplishments.
I was Andreas academic advisor at St. Bonaventure University. She was unquestionably
one of the most able students on my caseload. During Andreas transition into St. Bonaventure
University, it was not an easy one since she hit a rough patch in her life. After continuously
working with her, she had a major turn around and exceeded her goals by reaching her maximum
potential. As a sophomore she did well balancing out her responsibilities between being my
Teacher Assistant, working for the schools newspaper, being a part of multiple clubs on campus
and being captain of her volleyball team all while turning her studies around.
My closest experience working with Andrea was having her as my Teachers Assistant
(T.A.) for my University 101: Skills for the Good Journey class. As a T.A. she assisted with
editing and grading assignments. My job required me to be off campus and recruit students.
Whenever I could not be on campus, I trusted Andrea to create a lesson plan and lead an
organized class.
Andrea is one of the most motivated students Ive worked with thus far. She not only
balances multiple responsibilities during the school year, she also kept this stamina up during her
summer breaks. After her freshman year, she made it her duty to land an internship with the
American Heart Association which helped develop her skills both as a journalist and as a
communicator. She successfully managed having both an internship and a job after just being a
freshman. She continued to make her summers productive after her sophomore year by having
another internship and two jobs.
Andrea is one that I have seen progressively grow. With her ambitious, yet witty
personality, I know Andrea will do great things in the future because she is determined. I believe
that her skills and personality would allow her to be a major asset to any company she chooses to
work for once she graduates.

Sincerely,

Kerelle Caldwell, M.A.
