As a Bookkeeper I managed many company’s financial records, including purchases, sales, receipts, and payments. I worked closely with my supervisor to ensure accurate financial reporting and compliance with relevant regulations. The responsibilities included maintaining and updating financial records such as reconciling bank statements, preparing financial reports like balance sheets and income statements, monitoring company expenses, ensuring compliance with financial regulations, and using accounting software to process financial data efficiently.

My experience as a Bookkeeper improved my proficiency in accounting software such as QuickBooks Desktop. It strengthened my attention to detail, organizational skills, effective communication and interpersonal skills.

As a counselor in the summer, my role is to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where every camper can thrive. I oversee and guide groups of children throughout their day, organizing and leading a variety of activities—from sports and outdoor adventures to arts and crafts—that are designed to be both fun and educational. In this position, I collaborate closely with fellow counselors and camp directors to plan the daily schedule, ensuring that all activities run smoothly while maintaining high safety standards. I also act as a positive role model by demonstrating patience, effective communication, and problem-solving skills, helping to resolve conflicts and support the emotional and social development of each camper. This multifaceted role not only involves direct supervision and activity management but also requires the ability to adapt to the dynamic environment of a day camp, ensuring that every child has a memorable and enriching experience throughout the day.

In my role as a counselor’s assistant at a day camp, I support the primary counselors by helping to create a structured and enjoyable environment for campers. I assist in organizing daily activities, ensuring smooth transitions between programs, and monitoring camper safety and behavior throughout the day. My responsibilities include keeping activity areas clean and organized, setting up equipment, and providing administrative support such as maintaining attendance records. Additionally, I work closely with the counseling team to implement lesson plans and engage campers in both fun and educational experiences. By offering guidance and encouragement, I help foster a positive atmosphere where campers feel supported and empowered to explore new skills and build lasting relationships.
