I am a dedicated customer service representative with over a decade of experience in assisting beneficiaries with their Social Security and Medicare needs. My role at the Social Security Administration has honed my skills in handling complex inquiries, guiding individuals through the benefits application process, and providing exceptional service to those in need. I take pride in my ability to manage irate callers effectively and have received numerous commendations for my service.

Throughout my career, I have also mentored new representatives, helping them navigate the intricacies of our systems and processes. My experience extends beyond the Social Security Administration, having worked in various roles that required strong communication and problem-solving skills, such as a Customer Delivery Coordinator and a Contact Representative for the Internal Revenue Service. I am committed to continuous improvement and have participated in various training programs to enhance my skills and knowledge.
