What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values creativity and effective communication, with opportunities for growth.

As a dedicated professional with extensive experience in dispatching and customer service, I have honed my skills in managing operations and ensuring efficient communication between clients and service technicians. My role as a Dispatcher at Remprex allowed me to develop a high sense of urgency and a commitment to exceeding client expectations. I take pride in my ability to maintain strong relationships with both customers and contractors, ensuring smooth operations even in emergency situations.

In addition to my dispatching experience, I am also a published author, having released my book 'We Must Travel' during the pandemic. This endeavor reflects my passion for writing and my ability to connect with audiences through my work. My background in human resources and administration further complements my skill set, allowing me to effectively manage teams and streamline processes.
