What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my customer service skills in a supportive environment, with opportunities for growth and development.

I am a dedicated customer service advisor with extensive experience in call center environments. Currently, I work for the Student Loan Company, where I assist students with their loan applications, ensuring they understand the necessary documentation required for approval. My role has honed my ability to communicate effectively and empathetically with a diverse range of individuals.

Previously, I worked at Traveline Scotland, providing travel advice primarily to elderly callers, and at Southern Electric Energy, where I managed high volumes of inbound calls, addressing customer issues and upselling services. My experience has equipped me with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure, making me a valuable asset in any customer-focused role.
