Customer Support & VA Support | Detail-oriented, professional with strong admin and service skills
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and empathetic professional with a background in customer service, teaching, and administrative support. With several years of experience in client-facing roles and a strong foundation in communication and organization, I excel at solving problems with patience and professionalism.
I currently work as an English, Math, and Science teacher for young learners in Cambodia, where I’ve developed strong skills in multitasking, managing schedules, and keeping things running smoothly under pressure. I’m now looking to apply those skills in a remote role where I can provide dependable support as a Customer Service Representative or Virtual Assistant.
I bring a calm, clear communication style, strong attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to helping people. I’m available for part-time or flexible hours and am confident in managing email, chat-based communication, calendar tasks, and light administrative work.
