Work Experience
Accounting Specialist US Bank
March 29th 2016-Present Minneapolis, MN
I work with a team that researches and balances retail branch ATM’s. I use software
to see balance sheets, transactions, hardware faults, etc. to determine the cause for
branches showing an out of balance on their general ledger.
Each member in my team is assigned a specific region of the United States to
monitor and research on a daily basis. We have specific time guidelines we must
follow to accurately and efficiently resolve issues with ATM balancing.
On a daily basis I use several databases, which include software like Xcel, Access,
and Internet explorer programs to balance, research, contact branches if necessary,
and resolve branch ATM issues and successfully resolve those issues on the
company’s General Ledger.
I am mainly independent, and have autonomy when deciding what actions to take
when resolving issues that arise, and I am trusted to manage problems and find
solutions on my own, but can always get assistance if necessary.

Securities Specialist US Bank
December 29th 2014-March 29th 2016 St. Paul, MN
I work with a team of people, to fulfill requests from clients, in order to purchase or
sell types of financial securities and foreign exchanges.
I collaborate with my team to process and facilitate the settlement of these
transactions in the market and in our foreign and domestic databases.
I research and decide which financial transactions the company will process and
which transactions the company will have to reject, in order to maintain a good
working relationship with the client and with the financial institutions we work
with on a daily basis.
Every day I work within many computer systems and databases in order to
efficiently and accurately complete my work.
I am also experienced in using Microsoft Excel. I use spreadsheets and macro’s to
create and edit data sets and to manipulate reports in order to research and
prioritize securities I will need to process and/or manage throughout my day.
I am responsible for the movement of several different global currencies with
varying ranges of values. Large value transactions will be instructed and processed
by myself, but will need approval by senior management to finalize the transaction.
Lastly, I manage my time efficiently throughout the day to meet time sensitive
deadlines. When processing global exchanges with several different currencies it is
vital to manage your time effectively as it pertains to the different time zones
around the globe.
Teller Specialist US Bank
August 10th 2013-December 26th 2014 Bloomington, MN
I perform various transactions throughout the day that involve many different sums
of money. I do many transactions that require attention to detail and critical
thinking to complete accurately and efficiently.
I am in charge of the 1st floor vault, which involves the transferring and cataloging of
all actions and transactions that involve money entering or leaving the vault.
I work with a team of other teller’s, and a manager, to coordinate my personal cash
drawer and other various currency I receive in order to stay within the guidelines
set forth by many banking regulations, and I follow various rules throughout the day
when processing transactions to make sure I stay within designated regulations.
