To whom this may concern, Paola Rubio worked for us for 18months until April 2025 as a Care Provider for our two children, now eight and ten years old. We cannot say enough about the quality of care that Paola provided. She was a delight to have as a part of our family. Her help with our children was immense, dedicated and consistent. She has a strong knowledge of children’s needs and it’s very apparent how much she enjoys caring for them and teaching them. She is playful, engaged, firm but fair and kind. She was extremely reliable, punctual and communicative. I would highly recommend her and gladly accept a call anytime should you wish to discuss anything further. You would be more than lucky to have her be a part of your staff and community. Warmly, Rebecca Hepburn 778 316 6411

To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for Paola, a talented and driven individual I had the pleasure of studying alongside in the Food Technology program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Throughout our time in the program, Paola consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, professionalism, and a strong commitment to both academic and extracurricular initiatives. As the student representative for our class and for the BC Food Technologists (BCFT), Paola served as a vital liaison between students, faculty, and industry. She was someone our entire class looked up to—respected for her integrity, clear communication, and genuine dedication to representing our collective voice. Her ability to lead with both confidence and empathy made a lasting impression on everyone around her. One of her most impactful contributions was leading the curation of a BCFT Speakers Night, themed around agricultural technology. Paola played a key role in organizing the event, sourcing knowledgeable speakers from local industry, and crafting an experience that inspired an audience of students and professionals alike. Her work helped bridge the gap between education and industry, and sparked meaningful dialogue on innovation in the food sector. Paola is a thoughtful collaborator and a natural leader who consistently goes above and beyond to contribute to her community. I have no doubt she will bring the same level of excellence, initiative, and heart to any professional or academic opportunity she pursues. Kelly Rampersad Marketing & Social Media Fine Choice Foods
