What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my customer service skills in a tech-focused environment, with opportunities for growth and learning.

I am a dedicated customer service professional with extensive experience in technical support and a strong foundation in the tech industry. My journey began with a degree in Biomedical Engineering from DeVry University, which equipped me with analytical skills and a problem-solving mindset. Over the years, I have honed my abilities at various companies, including Conduent and Sutherland Global, where I provided exceptional support for a range of devices and services.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence in customer service. I excel in troubleshooting technical issues, guiding customers through complex processes, and ensuring their satisfaction. My ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively has allowed me to thrive in team environments while also being capable of working independently. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to make a meaningful impact in the tech industry.
