As an internal audit intern at Kroger's corporate general office, I have the opportunity to interact with company financials and processes to help individuals and divisions develop a better understanding of their efficiency and accuracy.

As an investment banking summer analyst, I was given the opportunity to observe and participate in a myriad of different transaction types and preparation steps. In addition to developing technical skills such as LBO and DCF analyses, I learned to function better in a team, and how to combine perspectives to create a cohesive strategic plan.

As a circulation desk associate at the Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning School library, I am able to utilize both my organizational and interpersonal skills. I oversee the use of various technological resources, including but not limited to the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Reader) and the Google and Microsoft Suites. In addition I manage a complex reservation system and work in conjunction with a team of other students to complete library projects.

As a freelance graphic designer for GRAIL, I contribute to the editing and design of slide presentations, as well as design workflows and infographics based on employee parameters for use in these presentations. In my time in this position I have gained essential skills in data visualization, which lend themselves indispensably to my education in and understanding of finance.

As an underwriting intern at Fund that Flip, I worked with a team of real-estate and collateral analysts to learn the fundamentals of property valuation and loan structuring. My functions involved both assisting in the day-to day of valuing potential subject properties, and completing macro research that allowed the company to better understand the markets in which they operate.

As a front desk associate at Thornton Park I facilitated the reservations for the pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and picnic tables. I interacted with hundreds of customers daily, both on the phone and face-to-face to ensure an efficient and enjoyable experience. During my time at this position I gained experience with a complicated reservation and point of sale system as well as daily interactions with financial reports and a cash drawer of more than $1000.

While working as a pit orchestra musician for Heights Youth Theatre, I was able to develop both personal confidence and leadership skills, as I served as the head of a 3-5 person brass section during the five shows I worked on. I learned how to handle both the organizational and communication requirements while still performing my personal work at a high level.

During my time working for Starbucks I found my work both demanding but also very rewarding. I worked hard at forming excellent customer relationships and was often praised by managers for my ability to communicate meaningfully with customers while maintaining efficiency in my position. I consistently supervised the opening and closing of the store, and helped train new employees to maximize productivity and improve customer experience. My daily responsibilities involved both customer service communications, and accurately balancing two cash drawers in excess of $500.
