To Whom it May Concern:

Please accept this letter as my enthusiastic recommendation in support of Ms. Michal Goldberg.
I have known Ms. Goldberg since August 2015, when I had the pleasure of having Ms. Goldberg
in my undergraduate statistics class at Wayne State.
During the Fall 2015 semester in my class, Ms. Goldberg demonstrated writing skills above and
beyond that of most masters level students. She was able to quickly grasp statistical and
methodological concepts and was always eager to participate, ask questions, and further her
knowledge. Ms. Goldberg also demonstrated a passion for and an in-depth understanding of how research can be applied in social work practice settings through both her writing and her
comments in class.
Whether she pursues a Master of Social Work degree or employment, Ms. Goldbergs excellent
writing skills, intellectual curiosity, and interpersonal skills will ensure that she makes valuable
contributions to the field of social work for years to come. Any MSW program or social service
agency would be extremely fortunate to have Ms. Goldberg on board.
I highly recommend Ms. Goldberg and without hesitation. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions.
Sincerely,
