LYDIA CARLSON ’25

MAJOR Business Administration HOMETOWN Abbotsford, Wis. ORGANIZATION Meyer Manufacturing Dorchester, Wis. TITLE Accounting/Administrative Office Support

What I did: My job duties include creating and maintaining purchase orders, reconciling order acknowledgments with purchase orders, organizing files, cleaning data for our new software transfer, maintaining/updating various accounting/purchasing spreadsheets, assisting with the bill paying process and tracking clothing inventory. What I liked: I have enjoyed learning more about the purchasing side of a manufacturing company. It has allowed me to see and better understand all the intricate details and processes that go into making sure the business has what it needs to run smoothly. I have also enjoyed working with all the numbers to see how they flow throughout the business, and I have enjoyed the challenge of figuring out the puzzle when those numbers don’t add up. Lastly, I have enjoyed the work environment that I was surrounded with, which was one that showed strong emphasis on community.

Future Dream Job: Owner of a bakery/cafe with a greenhouse element to it.
