Summary

I am well-equipped to provide exceptional customer service with over 15 years of experience in sales, business administration, and healthcare management. My expertise includes negotiating and customizing insurance programs with an impressive 87% close rate. Additionally, I possess SAP and policy analysis skills, having earned certification in ABAP for SAP HANA.

As a customer service representative at Global Furniture Group, I supported the company's goal by delivering top-notch furniture solutions to clients from various sectors. My SAP and policy analysis skills enabled me to handle complex data and reports, streamline processes, and ensure compliance. Before that, I owned and managed a pet grooming and boutique store, where I increased revenue by 89%, organized labor, inventory, and overhead costs, and fostered strong relationships with customers.

I hold a master's degree in healthcare administration and have applied policy analysis, order processing, and product knowledge skills to various industries and markets—my passion for creating positive customer experiences and building lasting partnerships drives me to continue to deliver exceptional service. I would love to have an opportunity to return to my first passion by working as a business analyst.
