Hi Ms. Castelhano!

It totally slipped my mind at today’s meeting, but I am applying for Ballotpedia’s Fellowship Program for this summer. They’re asking for a professional reference, and I really would love to put your name down.

It’s totally okay if you can’t or don’t have the time. I do think they will either call you or email you as I am on the younger end of the age range, but I don’t expect it to take long.

Thank you so much for your help! I am trying to plan my summer and would be so grateful for the opportunity to work with other high school and college students. The program is designed around data analysis of elections and increasing information for voters and on the ballot, two things I really care about.

Please let me know about Saturday and next week when you get the chance, but no rush!

Thank you again!

Best,
Sofia
