Cheri Hill
@cherihill
Remote-ready virtual receptionist and customer support professional, calm and organised in call handling and appointment coordination.
What I'm looking for
I am a remote-ready virtual reception and customer support professional known for a calm, reassuring phone manner, excellent organisation, and accurate follow-through of structured workflows. I’ve supported clients across property, insurance, and administrative environments, handling enquiries with patience and clarity.
From 2016–2019, I worked as a remote freelance receptionist, managing high volumes of inbound calls for multiple client companies. I logged accurate messages, followed scripts, updated calendars, and used CRM/helpdesk systems while delivering consistent, professional service working independently from home.
Between 2019–2024, I strengthened my reliability and self-management through full-time family caregiving and major home relocation administration. I now feel fully settled, equipped for remote work, and ready to return to a stable, long-term online role in virtual reception, customer support, or appointment coordination.
