Question
"As an intern at the historical society I catered to the needs of clients and provided administration support such as report preparation and database work. "
Should I put a comma after "support"? Is the sentence otherwise grammatically correct?
Thanks for the help!

Yes, you should put a comma there, and no, it's not all correct.
You need another comma to set off a similar dependent clause. And we do not usually say "administration support". There is another word that is more appropriate. What is it?

Perhaps this is better:
"As an intern at the historical society, I catered to the needs of clients and provided administrative support, such as report preparation and database work."
"As an intern at the historical society, I catered to the needs of clients and provided administrative support, such as report preparation and database work."
MUCH better! :)
Great! :) I suppose then that in the sentence below I need a comma after "statistics", since the first phrase seems like a dependent clause. Am I correct?
"Through my Bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Statistics from XYZ University I developed a desire to work in a research laboratory."
