I was part of a group of 3 administrative assistants in charge of starting medical files, checking, following up and delivering them to their medical viewing, which is a 4-month process. We initiated approximately 40 to 50 files a day on top of the 200 we had to check every day to follow up on them and inform the lawyer assigned to it.• I created an Excel based spreadsheet to analyze and keep track of all the existing files and the ones coming in, improving production and revision time by 30% as well as reducing processing time for new files in 40%. • With the approval of my coordinator I developed a checklist decreasing initiating file time by 15% and a 90% accuracy in correct initialization. • Having noticed the doctors physical files searching was too long, I reorganized all 3 racks with over 1000 files by date and file number reducing their search time, increasing efficiency and generating a better work environment.

I supervised the operations part of the family business in retail. The shop offered shoes and accessories and my job was to oversee a team of at least 3 sales representatives (up to 8 in high season). • Constructed several automated systems based on Microsoft Excel and reached a 40%-time reduction in data analysis and 120% increase in the accuracy of the sales report. • By reducing the reporting time, I generated more sales floor time to train and upgrade my sales team’s skills, helping them go from 50% to 75% sales conversion. • Created an e-commerce platform to expand our sales to other cities and people that couldn't reach us, increasing our revenue by approximately 10% in the first year we launched it and became the first retail shop in the area to have a website selling platform.
