Fluency in oral and written communication in Spanish, coupled with a comprehensive understanding of regional vernacular in Spanish-speaking countries, adds value to my skill set. Currently seeking an opportunity to explore and contribute to my tenured expertise, I bring a combination of training, management, and customer service skills. Additionally, solid interpersonal skills enable effective collaboration across departmental boundaries, making me an ideal candidate for greater responsibility in spearheading a successful enterprise.
