      • Dec 2020 - Present

      As a Public Transport Ambassador, I assist and guide passengers during major and minor changes to the public transport (e.g. closure of bus stops or train services, road closures due to an event, etc.). I liaise with the Auckland Transport Customer Service Centre/Transdev Auckland and also help other teams on a variety of on-ground public transport projects, services, events, and changes. Major event: the 36th America's Cup (2020-2021) and Auckland Transport projects such as the Aotearoa Bike Challenge 2021. I continue to gain valuable experience of customer service and knowledge regarding public transport in Auckland.

    • Operations Coordinator & Finance Associate
      • Oct 2019 - Present

      As an Operations Coordinator, I conducted operations audit and reviewed the store's process to ensure compliance with the organisation's standards. I have identified problem areas in the store and gave recommendations to ensure proper internal control. I have resolved discrepancies with existing accounts. I implemented a new internal automatic accounting system, making use of a terminal Point Of Sale system. I also trained our staff of the new system. I create weekly financial statements and review all ledgers and budget reports. I was managing the operations remotely, but due to COVID19 and classes being conducted online, all operations in the mini grocery have been put to a halt.As a Finance Associate, I worked cohesively with the finance team on recording financial transactions. I was assigned to one branch of Brightwoods School, specifically the San Fernando branch, recording financial transactions on Xero Accounting Software. I have also spearheaded the transition from manual recording of financial transactions for San Fernando branch to digital/cloud-based accounting (Xero). But at present, I have been assigned to monitor and record the tuition and fees coming in for the main Brightwoods branch. I am working remotely and always in contact with the collections team for this.

      In this role, I am supporting those people who have been identified as Casual and/or Close Contacts of community cases by calling them daily to check in: to see if they need any support while they self-isolate and to make sure that they understand what they've been told and advised especially by the Ministry of Health. Leading with an empathetic voice as well as building rapport with them so these people understand what their obligations are and what we need them to do as the rest of New Zealand to stop the spread of the virus. Working really efficiently and really making sure our team has contacted and supported every single person in their self isolation. It's critical that we make sure that New Zealand remains COVID free as much as possible. Contact tracing is one of the most critical elements of the government's response.
