To whom it may concern, I am writing this reference letter to recommend Ellen Lin for any future opportunities. She worked as a Student Urban Designer at Weston Consulting between January and April of 2023. Ellen joined our urban design team as part of her co-op term and has made an outstanding impact during her term. In my role as Design Director, I oversaw and managed her work on a frequent basis.

Throughout her time with us, Ellen has been an asset to our team, improving her abilities and producing highquality work. Ellen has shown a consistent and rigorous commitment to her responsibilities, exhibiting an eye for detail and an exceptional ability to solve problems. She has been a great team player, helping out wherever she could.

Ellen's main responsibilities during her co-op term were to provide massing ideas, outline drawings, updating 3D models, creating report figures, and assisting on technical Draft Plans. She performed these tasks with the utmost care and attention to detail, and her contribution improved the quality and timeliness of our deliverables.

Ellen has consistently shown commitment to her work and delivered reliable, high-quality results. She has been a valuable team member at Weston, and I confidently recommend her for future opportunities. Her hardworking and talented nature is an asset to any organization. I highly recommend Ellen for any future positions and am happy to provide additional information if needed.

Hello!

My name is Ellen Lin and I am currently a third year student at the University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture. I am interested in a 4-month co-op position from May 2024 to August 2024. I love creating and as an architecture student, I am fascinated by the architect’s role in shaping the world and designing for people’s experience in the surrounding environment. Trying my hand at new challenges and learning new skills pique my interest as I am eager to advance in my journey as a designer.

In my leisure time, I enjoy drawing, digital art, painting, crocheting, improving my Mandarin, and watching East Asian dramas and animation.
