I am currently assisting at an immigration law office for the summer, supporting two attorneys with client scheduling, organizing case files, and preparing immigration-related documents and filings. Also in charge of receiving payments, signatures, preparing retainers, and other administrative tasks.

I was entrusted with leading a training project for a financial institution, where I conducted classroom-style onboarding for new hires. My responsibilities included guiding employees through banking policies, systems, and compliance standards, monitoring their progress during the training period, and providing coaching and support to ensure strong job performance and long-term retention.

At 17, while finishing my senior year of high school, I was hired full-time and quickly promoted from team member to team lead. In this role, I trained new hires, managed payments, and oversaw front-end operations to ensure everything ran smoothly during peak hours. Being entrusted with leadership at a young age taught me responsibility, time management, and how to guide a team effectively.

My first job at 16 began as a summer position during the COVID season but extended beyond the summer. In this role, I gained experience in customer service, cash handling and POS systems, as well as food safety practices.
