As a Reservations Agent, I followed sales techniques to maximize revenue as a result I achieved my first goal by the 5th month of being hired, I was a top producer of the month. Two month later, I have just exceeded by 10% the objective established. I am currently working on this month's goals and, I am positive that will be a very successful month.

During my internship, I communicated by phone or email with over 150 people per week, adjusted over 25 invoices per week, and disputed 5-10 bank transactions with the bank per week. I had the ability to prioritize and organized my schedule to ensure I work efficiently and effectively and obtained positive results and feedback. As a result of my job well done, I was offered a position in the Reservation Department right after my internship.

When I was a Marketing and Development Specialist, I performed tasks such creating promotional material, managing the website and promoting the company by attending to an average of 4 events per month and organizing 1 large event per year. I had the opportunity to lead a team of 10 people to organize a community outreach event for approximately 150 people with 20 vendors and 5 to 8 suppliers. I delegated tasks to my team members based on their strengths. At the end, the event was a huge success, we confirmed about 10 vendors for the following year and two TV channels made a story on it. As a Marketing and Development Specialist, I also supervised 3 interns during their 4 months internship. I organized their schedule, arranged them sessions with colleagues for further knowledge of the field and the company, and advised them during their final project. At the end, one intern was hired and another was offered a position in the company. The positive feedback led to a future collaboration between Pathways and the School.

As an Associate ProfessionaL, I provided assistance to approximately 30 customers of all ages and backgrounds during my first 3 months in the company before being promoted. I demonstrated my ability to communicate and build trust with the families.

As an Assistant coach, I organized and conducted daily team practices as well as 10 individual lessons per week; I communicated and coached the players during tennis matches. At the end of the season, the team ended with 85% winning score.
