To whom it may concern:

I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Gannon during
the Winter 2016 term while she has served as my Assistant in the
Program for Active Living. The retirement community setting can
be a challenging place for young individuals, as it exposes them to
a variety of chronic health conditions and illnesses. Stephanie has
shown the ability to establish an excellent rapport with our senior
residents, while promoting healthy active living. She was able to
understand the goals of our program, and promote them through
conversation and interaction with each Village resident. The
placement provided a very short period of time to acquire and
demonstrate skills. I am thoroughly impressed with how much
Stephanie was actually able to accomplish during this period.
Stephanie learned and taught a lengthy fitness routine to a group
of 30+ participants. Her independent project was extremely
creative and relevant to the population, providing an information
seminar about falls prevention to two groups of 15-20 residents.
Furthermore, Stephanie is also an equally efficient team-player.
She worked with a partner to manage the Restorative Walking
program, as well as other Guelph-Humber students, to divide up
each days tasks and responsibilities.
Her high energy and
positive 'can-do' approach are important aspects to the successful
completion of any goals Stephanie will choose to set. As you can
tell, I think very highly of this young woman and recommend
Stephanie for employment/education or any other endeavors she
chooses to pursue.
Sincerely,
