Highly focused, organized and positive individual seeking to thrive in a leadership role and contribute to the success of Benefit Counseling and TRS Vision. Bringing over 22 years of customer service experience, am well-rounded, knowledgeable and eager to foster member relationships and create a motivating work environment.
Knowledgeable in TRS benefits, processes and policies, I effectively communicate with members, new hires, peers and leadership. I review and analyze member accounts to provide accurate information on service and disability retirement, health insurance coverage, TRS forms, EAR and Social Security provisions. I have consistently maintained high quality assurance scores and received numerous detailed member surveys that reflect the empathetic, educational and impactful service I provide. Always available to help as needed, I remain productive and work well independently. My customer service and critical thinking skills have been essential in handling challenging calls, researching, resolving member complaints and assisting peers.
I travel and work closely with reporting employers to conduct large group presentations, Q&A sessions and complete field office visits.
Responsible for providing virtual and classroom training to new hires, I help them successfully interpret and explain TRS benefits, processes and policies to members. I provide feedback, adapt to different learning styles and advocate for their individual needs and success.
