Summary

I'm a long time Service Advisor with a strong work ethic , excelling in customer service and documentation. Proven ability to cultivate client rapport and upsell necessary repairs, enhancing customer retention. Highly organized and skilled in managing multiple repair orders and tasks at any given time of the day. Can think on my feet, but when given the opportunity I try to always look at situations from all angles before reacting.

I've been in my chosen field for over 13 years , but I'm open and willing to learn a new field.
