• Successfully managed high-volume shifts, serving up to 200 customers without compromising service quality, handling cash and card transactions accurately under pressure.

During my internship at Mears Group, I gained hands-on experience in financial administration, including data analysis, budget monitoring, and reporting. I supported the finance team in streamlining processes and ensuring accuracy in financial records, enhancing my practical understanding of economic principles in a real-world business context. This experience strengthened my analytical and problem-solving skills, providing a solid foundation to complement my ongoing studies in Economics.

During a summer at Retail FCL immediately after school, I gained firsthand exposure to the financial sector, supporting day-to-day operations and administrative tasks within an ATM management environment. This experience introduced me to financial processes, cash flow monitoring, and transactional reporting, providing practical insight into economic systems and financial management. It strengthened my organisational and analytical skills, and offered a real-world foundation that complements my ongoing Economics degree.
