“Jenn thrives transforming general ideas into something useful and practical. I found the
assignment of more complex responsibilities accelerated her professional growth and added
even more value as my project assistant at Power Engineers.
As an example, Jenn created a customized project management tool that allowed me to
closely monitor and track the projects being done by my 30+ subconsultants. She
incorporated adequate redundancy so any errors could easily be identified and quickly
corrected. In addition, her setup and organization of the hundreds of projects accommodated
quick and easy access, and retrieval of information at a moments notice.
Jenn would be a valuable asset for any project team.”

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Greg Counts and I am the current Group Manager, Global Logistics and Transportation for the Gates
Corporation. I have held this position for eleven years, but I have been in the Distribution, Logistics and
Transportation field for over thirty-nine years. I am also an instructor at the University of Colorado, Denver
Campus. I teach Marketing 4580, International Transportation. This letter of recommendation is for one of my past
students, Jennifer Despain.
Jennifer was an extremely bright and focused young woman. She took my class during the Spring Semester of 2011
and received an “A”. She was an excellent student while exhibiting a tremendous amount of integrity and
perseverance during our class discussions and debates. She was well respected by her fellow students, but
especially by her class group. She was very thorough and illustrated the ability to work with others to complete an
assignment.
Completing all class requirements, within a group environment is difficult, but through her perseverance and aided
by her communication skills within the group, they were very successful. Jennifer has the type of personality, and
the fortitude, that I would want on my team. Jennifer Despain will be an outstanding asset to your company!!!
