Summary

With more years in customer service than most houseplants live, I’ve mastered the sacred arts of patience, empathy, and turning complaints into compliments.


Whether it’s solving billing mysteries, calming the angriest of callers, or even just being a pleasant voice in heightened situations, I’ve done it all.


I believe every problem has a solution and consider myself a part-time therapist and full-time people wrangler. Looking for someone who knows how to keep customers happy, coworkers sane, and the chaos under control?

That’s me!
