Active during the academic year.

I calculated furniture, paint, and purchasing budgets for clients to convey the pricing using excel spreadsheets. Made multiple revisions to those budgets throughout my time to align them with my clients' budgets. Attended numerous meetings with fabric/tile/rug/upholstery representatives and assisted the team while picking the most desirable items for clients. Pitched written proposals to clients, explaining them our work and prices. Furthermore, I also created presentations which were later presented to clients.

Assisted a pHd student who was conducting research within macroeconomics, specifically multi-product firm behavior in production networks.

Welcomed hungry customers into the restaurant, greeted them and walked them to their tables while presenting a friendly yet professional etiquette. Answered phone calls, assisted potential customers by acquainting them with the purpose of the restaurant and making reservations. On busy nights, I unsolicitedly took more responsibility to accelerate the speed of delivering food to customers when their servers were attending other tables. Forced to make spontaneous decisions regarding space in the restaurant and how many customers could be housed. Learned how to respectfully decline customers and prioritize reservations over walk-ins.

Handled the responsibility of counting and pricing inventory. Assisted customers throughout their time and made them feel important by catering to specific needs. Came up with ideas for promoting new products and displaying them in an aesthetic manner. Understood the essentials of a small business & learnt from a female entrepreneur.

Strengthened critical thinking skills by solving real-life scenarios. Realized the importance of being friendly & understanding & handling situations differently based on age groups. Improved impromptu thinking & communication skills when challenged to evaluate problems. Practiced finding solutions through respectful communication & non-violence.

Learned about different sectors of finance from industry professionals, discussing career trajectories. Strengthened presentation skills through activities, mock interviews & elevator pitches, enhancing usage of facial expressions & hand gestures. Took initiative in group settings to break the ice between teammates to increase comfort level.

At the summer camp, I handled a group of 50 children, ranging from ages 5-10 and played various games with them throughout. It was an interesting and enjoyable experience because I had to navigate through various ways to effectively communicate with children of different ages.
