Summary

Through years of working in customer service directly with people and working as an editor online, I have cultivated abilities that have given me strengths dealing with the public. I have learned effective communication tactics, the importance of being an attentive listener, and the necessity to keep a clear and pragmatic mindset to make important decisions quickly but with strong reasoning and logic. I excel at problem solving and being able to come to solutions with others while maintaining trust and the necessary open dialogue to ensure mutual satisfaction.
