EXPERIENCE
GLS Fund Services
Intern
September 2023 - Present
Virtual
At GLS Fund Services, I manage bookkeeping tasks to maintain accurate financial records. This involves organizing transactions and ensuring that all data is updated. To achieve this goal, I focus on keeping information well-documented by relying on software tools such as Excel to streamline my work. Over the years, I have found that staying organized is key to tracking multiple records.
My role also requires a significant amount of teamwork. To this end, I communicate regularly with my supervisor to ensure that I am meeting expectations and address any questions. This collaboration ensures that my work meets the company’s standards.
Another major part of my responsibilities is categorizing expenses for tax preparation. This means that I identify the right category for each transaction for accurate reporting. I take the time to review each expense carefully so that nothing is overlooked. My attention to detail in this area helps to simplify the company’s tax filing process.
I also review accounts payable and receivable records for accuracy. If there are discrepancies, I collaborate with my supervisor to resolve them. This has taught me how to approach problems in thoughtful and collaborative ways. Furthermore, I prepare quarterly financial summaries that provide insights into the company’s performance. Delivering these thorough reports ahead of deadlines is a priority for me.
I am truly grateful for this position because its tasks have honed my time-management, organizational, collaborative, and problem-solving skills.

Biker’s Outfitters
Employee

Boston, MA
During my time at Biker’s Outfitters, I developed an organizational system for its warehouse. This system significantly improved efficiency and helped streamline daily operations. I focused on categorizing parts by type to make them easier to locate. In the process, I packaged and labeled hundreds of inventory items for accurate tracking. Staying organized was essential for keeping the warehouse running smoothly. My work reduced confusion and saved time for the team. I also took the initiative to refine the process based on feedback from coworkers. Each adjustment that I made had a positive impact on productivity. Indeed, small improvements can lead to large results!
Moreover, I arranged merchandise in the showroom to create an inviting space for customers. This included carefully maintaining displays for belts, leather jackets, and decals. I ensured that each display was appealing and easy to navigate. I also frequently adjusted the layout to reflect promotions. I enjoyed seeing how well-arranged displays could attract customers. I am glad that my efforts contributed to a positive shopping experience for everyone who visited.
Another important task that I undertook involved monitoring inventory levels to ensure that the store remained well-stocked. When shortages occurred, I reported them to my supervisor and helped with restocking efforts. This included checking incoming shipments and organizing new items in the warehouse. Keeping accurate records was essential for avoiding new item delays or errors.
I am happy to report that my work supported the store’s operations and improved the overall customer experience.
