What I'm looking for
I'm a remote customer support and operations specialist with a background spanning high-volume client services, AI quality evaluation, and independent business management.
As Remote Office Manager at Aloha Remote Solutions, I was the sole point of contact for all inbound and outbound customer interactions — handling troubleshooting, scheduling, billing, and logistics independently using QuickBooks. Before that, I spent nearly 10 years delivering premium guest experiences at The Royal Hawaiian and managed multi-location beach and pool operations across Outrigger Waikiki properties, where I recruited, trained, and mentored customer service teams while resolving escalations on the spot.
I also bring 2+ years as an AI Quality Specialist with a consistent 98% evaluation accuracy score across user/assistant response evaluations, OCR annotation, rubric-based assessments, and prompt engineering — which means I understand AI-powered support tools from the inside out.
Outside of work, I produce content for my YouTube channel covering Honolulu food, venues, and Oahu e-bike lifestyle through the EV Riders community.
Based in Honolulu, fully remote-equipped with hardwired internet, and available for flexible schedules across all U.S. time zones.
