Remi Monoco, Executive Assistant

The Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance

457 Madison Avenue

New York, NY 10022

Dear Mr. Monoco:

I am applying for the position of Office Associate with the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance (MWA) based on the recommendation of a mutual friend, Kim Power. I will graduate in May 2019 from the University of Virginia (U.Va.) with a Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning, a Bachelor of Arts in French and a minor in Architecture. I will be moving to New York City soon and see this position as the ideal opportunity to contribute the skills I have gained from my professional experience, academic studies, and diverse background. I share the belief with MWA that waterfront areas should be accessible for all, and I am strongly motivated to make the New York and New Jersey shores a pleasant place to live, work and play.

My organizational and communication skills are well demonstrated in my work experiences in nonprofit, corporate and student organization settings. Currently, I intern with Piedmont Council of the Arts which shares similar responsibilities to the position at MWA. During my internship, I provide administrative support, focusing on maintaining a contact database of local artists, creating a new filing system for the council and constructing e-mail campaigns. I have also interned at KPMG Audit Form, a corporate environment where attention to detail was essential when managing client files and proofreading financial statements. In addition, I handled event logistics and publicized events when I served as publicity chair of the Taiwanese Student Association at U.Va. I have acquired a sophisticated understanding of urban affairs through my studies. My coursework included site assessment and data collection, application of planning regulations, and the development of recommendations in order to create neighborhood master plan and transportation plan. Originally from Taiwan, my residence in Germany, France and the United States, as well as my extensive travel experience have fostered an ease in working with people from diverse backgrounds.

Kim Power is sending you a letter in regards to my qualifications and I look forward to discussing my candidacy for this position with you as well. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration. I hope to hear back from you soon.

Respectfully, Anna (Thi) Pan Enclosure: resumé

Ms. Ann Nawaz

U.S. Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, S.W. (FB-6, Room 7E230) Washington, DC 20202

Dear Ms. Nawaz:

My experiences and status as a third-year at the University of Virginia make me an ideal candidate for the summer internship program with the U.S. Department of Education, which I learned about at the Government and Nonprofit Career Expo in D.C. last month. Your agency is known for working to ensure equal access to education for every child and promoting educational excellence throughout the nation. I know that with my background and interest in helping youth, I am a good fit for your organization.

My volunteer work throughout college has confirmed my interest in and dedication to childhood education. By volunteering at Wesley Daycare in Charlottesville, Virginia, I learned a lot about child development by caring for children ranging from three months to three years old. During my time at Wesley, I had the opportunity to observe student and teacher roles and a variety of teaching techniques. Later, these skills became important when I volunteered with the Migrant Aid program and had the opportunity to tutor two high school students. I now look forward to serving as an advocate for youth education by working in your After-School Programs Division.

I am prepared for this administrative role as a result of my position as an intern at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service last summer. There, I coordinated internship placements for over 200 students in the Charlottesville community. More specifically, I collected and organized applications, corresponded with students and sponsors via email and phone, maintained an updated Excel database of all internship sites and sponsor contacts, and created orientation packets. I have honed the organizational and time- management skills necessary to be a successful intern with the Department of Education.

Thank you for reviewing my application. Should you have any questions, you may reach me using the contact information listed above.

Best regards,

Patrice Camp
