Letter of Recommendation
August 3, 2026
To Whom It May Concern:
Genevieve Spence participated in the Herb Pharm Herbaculture Spring 2026 Internship Program, an intensive 10-week hands-on program focused on the cultivation, conservation, identification, harvesting, preparation, and use of medicinal plants. The program also emphasizes horticultural applications, ecological awareness, and foundational herbal studies within a professional production environment.
Throughout her internship, Genevieve consistently demonstrated dedication, professionalism, and a strong work ethic. She approached both physical farm work and classroom learning with care and attentiveness while maintaining a clear focus on developing the knowledge and practical skills needed to support her long-term career in herbalism. She was reliable, engaged, and worked well alongside staff and fellow interns.
Genevieve brought a thoughtful and motivated presence to the program. She was receptive to feedback, asked insightful questions, and demonstrated an ability to integrate hands-on experience with theoretical learning. Her genuine curiosity, commitment to professional growth, and respect for the plants, the land, and the learning process were evident throughout the internship.
Based on my experience working with Genevieve, I believe she has developed a solid foundation in herbalism and possesses the initiative, professionalism, and dedication that will serve her well as she continues to build her career. I am confident she will continue to grow as a practitioner and make meaningful contributions to the field.
I recommend Genevieve Spence without reservation and am pleased to support her as she pursues future professional opportunities. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any additional information.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Draper
Herbal Education Coordinator
