Dr. Mellony Conyers 
Cared for child, worked with various youth groups under Dr. Conyers direction, I have known Ann Nakia G. in a variety of capacities for several years. She has been my children's caregiver and camp counselor for the past several years. In addition, she was my partner/assistant coach for a non-profit organization- Durham Hurricanes Cheerleading where she was responsible for helping girls develop socially and physically. Nakia is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. Her communication skills, both written and verbal, are excellent. In summary, I highly recommend Nakia for any position or endeavor that she may seek to pursue. She will be a valuable asset for any organization. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Nakia is an extraordinary young woman. As a community and business leader, I have seen many examples of her talent and have long been impressed by her diligence and work ethic. I understand that Nakia is applying for a position with your company. I would like to recommend her for the position she is seeking. Nakia has outstanding organizational skills. She is able to successfully complete multiple tasks with favorable results despite deadline pressure. Her skills are further demonstrated in her work with children. She mentors several youth in the community through her current employment and church. She has been instrumental in their recommitment to education and positive outlook for their future. It was immediately evident that she had a sincere interest in and concern for all children reaching their goals. She was willing to come up with creative ideas that proved to be relevant and effective. Her creativity, compassion and concern are key components in her success as she worked with the children that attended the Durham Parks and Recreation Programs. Nakia s demonstrated leadership abilities are both admired and respected by members of the community and her work team. If your organization is seeking a superior candidate with a record of achievement, Nakia is an excellent choice. She has consistently demonstrated an ability to rise to any challenge that she faces. To conclude, I would like to restate my strong recommendation for Nakia. If you have any further questions regarding Nakia s ability or this recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Jeanette Cooper, OEA Director
