Communication Skills

While leading peer-to-peer or shadowing sessions, I monitor agent chats to ensure adherence to quality assurance requirements and departmental standards. This enables me to offer real-time feedback on customer interactions and provide guidance on optimal handling strategies. Through my work experience, I have developed strong communication skills, consistently aiming to deliver clear and precise information. I also take pride in my ability to listen effectively, which I believe is essential for successful communication.

Leadership Experience

I currently serve as a designated Point of Contact for the Digital Engagement team, providing additional support to agents by offering resources and guidance as they assist customers through chat interactions. I lead peer-to-peer sessions, delivering feedback to agents seeking to enhance their skills or take on additional responsibilities. Additionally, I handle special projects beyond my standard duties, including leading weekly presentations on work burnout and mental health. In these presentations, I cover how to identify key signs of mental health issues, share coping strategies, and outline available resources. Consistently participate in department Knowledge Base meetings to evaluate internal resources and procedures, identify effective processes and areas needing improvement, and recommend changes to facilitate these improvements. Designed monthly incentive flyers for the Digital Engagement team, which consistently communicated departmental requirements and outlined the incentives available for meeting those criteria.
