Breanna Zapien
@breezapien
Customer-focused intake and scheduling professional skilled in phone support and digital reservation coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer-focused communications professional with hands-on experience as a first point of contact for customers. I handle phone inquiries, reservations, scheduling details, and team coordination with a calm, organized approach.
I’ve served in customer-facing roles where I gathered details accurately, confirmed requests, and updated digital reservation systems. I communicate time-sensitive information between customers, managers, hosts, and servers to support smooth follow-through.
Across fast-paced environments, I build rapport, clarify needs, answer questions, and keep customers informed—whether managing waitlists and seating windows or relaying details to internal teams. I bring clear follow-through on requests and reliable information-sharing to every intake conversation.
