What I'm looking for

I am looking for a customer service role that values communication and teamwork.

With four years of experience as a cabin crew member, I have honed my skills in exceptional customer service and safety management. My journey began with Kenya Airways, where I successfully overhauled the preflight checking system and introduced innovative safety instructions that resonated with passengers, enhancing their overall experience. I thrive in high-pressure situations and am adept at maintaining a calm demeanor while ensuring passenger safety and satisfaction.

In addition to my inflight experience, I have worked in various customer service roles, including as a remote customer service representative and team lead. My ability to communicate effectively and resolve issues promptly has consistently resulted in high customer satisfaction ratings. I am now eager to transition into a customer service role that allows me to leverage my strong communication skills and problem-solving abilities in a new industry.
