What I'm looking for
I am a senior-level bilingual (English/Spanish) customer service expert with 20+ years of public and private sector experience delivering high-volume call center operations, client support, and documentation.
I have led teams, trained on-site and remote hires, and managed customer escalations while creating SOPs and improving efficiencies across multi-office operations.
My background includes project coordination, production administration, and workforce-management research for federal and commercial clients, where I maintained SLAs, managed large databases, and produced clear technical documentation.
I bring adaptability, leadership, and a track record of measurable results in customer satisfaction, process improvement, and cross-cultural communication—ready to contribute to a customer-focused operations or support leadership role.
