Message

At Roto Rooter of Charleston, I assist residential and commercial customers with scheduling plumbing appointments, then dispatch technicians to customers in the surrounding counties.

At Kindle Direct Publishing, I assisted publishers with self-publishing accounts, royalty inquiries, and paperback and eBook formatting. I also resolved escalated account issues and received recognition for exceeding contact and positive response goals.

As an Admissions Representative at Centura College (Beta Tech), I scheduled prospective student interviews and worked to meet enrollment standards. I received campus awards and was recognized as the top admissions officer across Centura College branches for an enrollment date in 2009.

My background also includes teaching at Beta Tech and substitute teaching for Charleston County School District. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Newberry College and a Master of Public Administration from Walden University.
