Altarum Institute
Portland, ME
Dear Altarum Institute,
I am very interested in the open position for a Food & Nutrition Analyst through your Center for Food &
Nutrition (CFAN). The materials contained include my application from your advertisement on
www.themuse.com as well as my resume. I believe that with my current and future education in nutrition,
I will be a great fit for your company and for this position. I do not currently qualify for all of your
requirements but with my hard work ethic and willingness to learn, I can quickly learn from the best in
your business and fulfill any position related to this one including internships.
Firstly, my work experience includes many years of child care that has given me valuable lessons I take
through any job. My first job at Sage Cottage Montessori, starting in 2010 while in high school, involved
maintaining a healthy environment for preschool children, aid in the classroom, and aid in social
development of children. Through this job I learned valuable work habits from coworkers and developed
an awareness for environments fit for children to grow and learn.
My second job began in June 2016 at the YMCA Summer Camp in which I used the skills I learned from
Sage Cottage to be a counselor for children in Kindergarten to Sixth grade. This job required a heightened
awareness from the one that I developed from my previous job to also maintain a safe environment for
children to learn and have fun. This included being able to communicate with children of many different
ages, backgrounds, and with their parents/guardians. This job also required the constant communication
with other counselors & directors to make fast decisions, help in emergencies, and to brainstorm creative
activities for the camp.
Secondly, my education background includes a high school diploma from Los Alamos High School where
I was awarded an NMAA All-District 2AAAA certificate whilst competing in three sports for all four
years of high school. I am currently enrolled at the University of New Mexico and majoring in Nutrition.
I am working very hard on attaining my undergraduate and am also interested in grad school to further my
knowledge in nutrition & dietetics.
I believe that I have the proper experience to be able to efficiently fulfill the duties of this job as well as
interning for your company. This opportunity can give me valuable experience to pursue a career in
nutrition or as a Dietitian that I will always credit to your company. I believe my hard work ethic can help
me learn the ways of your company and help further your company & CFAN.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Mitsunaga
