Summary

At AT&T, I excelled as a Services Technician and Customer Service Assistant, where my expertise in equipment troubleshooting and exceptional customer service significantly enhanced client satisfaction. Leveraging skills in diagnostic testing and relationship building, I consistently delivered solutions that improved operational efficiency and customer loyalty, embodying a blend of technical acumen and interpersonal finesse. During my time as a customer service assistant I was used as a relieving manager having my own teams for over two years in which I was responsible for all required MSOC metrics, coaching, developing, and making recommendations regarding further employment.
