What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic, detail-oriented customer service professional with extensive experience in order management, CRM (Salesforce), client verification, and account management. I consistently troubleshoot complex issues, manage escalations, and maintain data integrity to deliver superior customer experiences and operational efficiency.
I have a proven track record of mentoring and training new hires, supporting multiple operational queues, and implementing workflow optimizations that reduce friction and improve outcomes. Most recently I advanced into claims handling, applying investigative, negotiation, and documentation skills to resolve complex cases and uphold service standards.
