Customer service representative at Bluegreen Vacations who resolved escalated complaints using product and contract knowledge.

United States
Message

At Bluegreen Vacations, I moved from sales into a dedicated customer support role focused on resolving customer complaints. I handled escalated conversations, worked toward fair resolutions, and documented complaints and outcomes in the company CRM.

As a self-employed Licensed Investigator, Unclaimed Funds Recovery, I used skip tracing software to locate people owed unclaimed funds by the State of Texas. I matched records before filing claims and explained the recovery process to each person.

Earlier, at Bewil & Company Ltd, I handled sales, customer service, and collections, and secured a $1M+ contract within my first six months. I hold a BS in Psychology with a concentration in Consumer Behavior from Colorado Technical University, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 3.99 GPA.
