Summary

I've worked customer service jobs since I started working. I've learned a lot about how to read and manage the general public, and how to de-escalate or reassure those customers who need it. I'm a very social and talkative person, which comes in handy with coworkers and customers alike. Building good relationships with people is not something I've struggled with, and I really do enjoy customer service.
