What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Customer Service Professional with over 2 years of experience in high-volume stakeholder engagement and process optimization.

I have a proven track record of managing weekly inquiries and daily transactions, significantly reducing onboarding time and enhancing engagement through empathetic communication and data-driven solutions.
In my current role as a Business and Support Specialist at Qnet Ltd, I have successfully built Google Sheets macros that reduced manual documentation efforts by 30%, while ensuring 100% compliance with audit standards. My ability to manage over 50 client inquiries weekly has driven a 25% improvement in response time.

My educational background includes a PG Diploma in Media & Communication Studies from the University of Strathclyde, where I honed my strategic communication and digital skills. I have also participated in internships with Accenture and Deloitte, where I gained hands-on experience in consulting and data analytics, further enhancing my analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
