Experienced virtual customer service professional with 15 years expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with over 15 years of experience in virtual customer service, administrative support, and international communication. My career has spanned global organizations such as IBM, Ericsson, and Toyota, where I honed my skills in managing and analyzing large volumes of information while ensuring clear communication and cross-functional collaboration.
Fluent in both English and Afrikaans, I bring a unique cultural perspective that enhances my ability to contribute to AI training initiatives. My educational background in Computer Science, along with certifications in COBOL and Visual Basic, equips me with the technical knowledge necessary for understanding structured data and workflows. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to support RWS Train AI, as it aligns with my passion for detail-oriented work and my commitment to advancing AI through high-quality linguistic data.
