@akilahwilson
I improve customer operations, implementation, and retention through scalable workflows, reporting, and team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently improving onboarding, lifecycle support, and service outcomes for more than 500 student customers annually at Charles R. Drew University. I partner with IT and cross-functional stakeholders to turn customer feedback and operational data into measurable service improvements.
I build KPI dashboards, standardize workflows and training, automate manual work with Python, and lead escalation resolution through root-cause analysis. Previously at Los Angeles Unified School District, I managed complex client needs, stakeholder relationships, service continuity, and escalations.
At New York Film Academy, I led five staff members supporting more than 3,000 active customers across onboarding, support, records operations, and service delivery. I also led workflow redesign, improved turnaround times, and directed compliance audits with no findings.
