I would make only a few changes, highlighted in red. Gerunds allow you to use verbs as nouns and the parallel construction is usually more effective in a resume or CV. The commas divide the different responsibilities and add clarity. I hope this helped!

I would make only one change to MoodyMoody �s suggestion. We don �t usually use "do" with "duties", so I would say "performing related duties". She was keeping your words and just changing the grammar. I think she �ll agree that "performing" sounds a little more natural to native ears. Understand, though, that "doing" is entirely correct.

... or undertaking related duties.
Agree with others - replace the "do� form. If it�s a letter of recommendation then formal is better.
