Waking up at 8am I leave my apartment in Honolulu right
outside Waikiki around 8:40am to head to my bus stop about 20 minutes away. I
take the 9 bus to my office which is about 15 minutes, all in all not a bad
commute. As the District Mangers intern I help her with all of her daily tasks.
These include scheduling maintenance men, window cleaners, and whatever else
the stores need. I also help her hire and follow through with their Secret
Shopper Program. The feedback from the Secret Shoppers allows the company to be
able to uphold good customer service every time.
No two days are the same at San Lorenzo, which is why I love
my internship. Usually we only spend two full days in the office because the
other days we are running errands for the stores or visiting the Oahu
locations. Store visits are my favorite because we get to look at the
merchandising and give the store tips on things that should be changed. The
four stores on the island are completely different and cater to the area that
they are in. There is one on the North Shore in Haleiwa, one of the East side
in Kailua, one in town at the Ala Moana Center Mall, and one right by the
University of Hawaii at Manoa in Pucks Alley. I love traveling the island with
my boss because I get to learn so much. She really values my opinion and I get
to use a lot of the things I learned in school. I impressed her with my
knowledge of Illustrator, mocking up a section of the store that she wanted to
re-do and presenting it to the owner in which she approved. I am excited to see
the design come to life.
