Customer service and gate support professional blending airline expertise with creative video and social media production.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer service, experienced traveler and passenger support professional with airline, hospitality, and front-desk experience. I assist with check-in, boarding, rebooking, and travel questions while verifying IDs, boarding passes, and travel documents.
Across gate and ramp work, I follow airline, airport, TSA, safety, and security procedures, supporting flight updates, delays, baggage questions, and special assistance. I also coordinate with gate agents, flight crews, and supervisors to keep operations moving.
In hospitality, I’m focused on excellent communication and interpersonal skills—checking guests in according to company policies and appropriately handling guest issues. I’ve also supported night audit responsibilities and maintenance repair issues.
Beyond customer-facing roles, I’m a remote video producer and content creator, shooting and editing video, photos, and promotional content. I plan creative concepts and manage YouTube and social media using Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) plus Canva, with additional ecommerce posting and product photography experience.
