Summary

With a degree in Communication, Media, and Rhetoric, mixed with my extensive knowledge in Customer Service, I bring a strong foundation of effective, thorough communication and strategic thinking to the table. However, my ability to understand and connect with others has allowed me to adapt; whether it be to the needs of a customer or colleague. With my professional background and my experience within the service industry, I would be a helpful asset to Razava and provide excellent support for both customer's and colleagues.
