Experienced customer service professional with strong communication skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated customer service professional with over 8 years of experience in fast-paced environments. My journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a minor in Communications, which has equipped me with exceptional communication skills and a strong ability to connect with customers. Throughout my career, I have excelled in various roles, including Guest Relations, Call-Center Representative, and Clerical Specialist, where I consistently delivered high-quality service and built long-term relationships with clients.
In my most recent role at Home Depot, I successfully managed customer inquiries and resolved issues while working remotely. My experience at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office and as a Correctional Officer has further honed my ability to maintain composure under pressure and ensure safety and order. I pride myself on being a creative problem solver and a quick learner, always striving to enhance customer satisfaction and retention.
