Detail-oriented communications professional with a passion for customer service.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced communications professional with a strong background in customer service and project management. Currently, I work as an Independent Agent for Appen, where I contribute to a Large Language Learning Model for Meta AI's Ray-Bay Smart glasses. My role involves writing instruction commands and reviewing AI-generated responses, requiring creativity and meticulous attention to detail.
Previously, I served as a Concierge at Vicinity Centres, where I ensured a seamless experience for guests at the Emporium Shopping Centre. My responsibilities included managing inquiries across various channels and liaising with over 200 retailers. My earlier experience as a Passenger Service Agent at DNATA honed my customer service skills, where I played a key role in achieving operational excellence for Sri Lankan Airlines.
