Letter of Recommendation for Natalie Alexander

14 December 2015 To Whom It May Concern:

Natalie Alexander joined the HQ Raleigh team in August 2015 as the Public Relations

and Communications intern. In this position, she has assisted with various projects, ranging from social media management and blogging, to launching new campaigns and maintaining our website.

HQ Raleigh has a very small staff - three full-time managers and two part-time

employees - managing a fast-paced co-working community comprised of over 150 startup companies. With so much going on, our interns become an integral part of our team, and we rely on their input, their creativity, and their diligence to maintain our

operations and sustain our growth. This is especially important when it comes to PR and Communications.

Natalie has definitely been an asset to the team this semester. She has jumped in, often with limited direction, to complete projects, share ideas, manage all of our social media

channels, update our website, oversee a consistent series of member interviews on our blog, and help us launch a new social media campaign, among many other

assignments. We operate as a startup, so the environment is often fast-paced, unpredictable, and requiring of great results with limited resources and budget. Even so, Natalie has been calm, reliable, and never afraid to ask questions or offer suggestions.

She is approachable, a quick learner, and someone whom we can trust as a great representative of our brand and of our team.

I would highly recommend Natalie Alexander as a wonderful candidate for any organization’s marketing or public relations team.
