Summary

Being on the front-lines of nearly every customer service scene, experiencing all kinds of pain points quickly became the norm. From resolving issues on my own, I quickly learned that not every customer would need the same service. I've always been known to handle customer interactions with poise. I have a track record for leading small teams to be the absolute best when it came to customer experiences. Making others happy and making work run smoother is my specialty. From chatting to customers about their family to training a new employee, I'm all in. I would love to be an addition to your business and we can learn from each other!
