From MS Counselor Nathalie Padilla at BLPA:
"It is with great enthusiasm that I write this letter of recommendation for John Stuker, who has worked as a school counseling intern/student at Banning Lewis Prep Academy. I have worked with John for the past two years and during this time, I have witnessed John grow into a compassionate, insightful, and highly capable emerging counselor. He consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional development.
John possesses a wonderful combination of empathy, professionalism, and initiative. Whether facilitating small group sessions, conducting individual counseling, or assisting with crisis interventions, John maintained a calm and grounded presence that helped students feel safe and supported. He also worked seamlessly with our faculty, staff, and families, contributing meaningfully to school-wide initiatives and interventions. John eagerly sought feedback and demonstrated an impressive capacity for self-reflection and growth.
I am confident that John will be a valuable asset to any school counseling team. He has not only academic preparation but also the character and interpersonal skills essential for success in this profession. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any counseling position or opportunity he seeks.
Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information.
Sincerely,
Nathalie Padilla
