What I'm looking for

I'm open to opportunities where I can drive customer-centric growth, operational excellence, long-term impact, and meaningful improvements to customer journeys, service quality, and retention.

At OSN, I lead Customer Experience and Quality Assurance across contact center and digital channels, improving service quality, reducing churn, and turning customer data into operational action.

I design customer journey and touchpoint maps, evaluate more than 2,000 customer interactions monthly, investigate complaints and escalations, and identify root causes behind service gaps. I also led the implementation of a Voice of the Customer program, built a real-time customer satisfaction dashboard, and developed a QA framework aligned with business KPIs.

My work brings together Retention, Tech, Product, Training, and customer support teams to streamline resolution processes and support service upgrades across OSNtv.

Having progressed from customer service and training roles through performance coaching, team management, and CX leadership, I build customer-first teams through practical coaching, clear feedback loops, and consistent quality standards.
