Customer service professional with extensive experience in diverse roles.
What I'm looking for
I have dedicated nine years to enhancing customer service experiences across various sectors, including hospitality and healthcare. My journey began at the Alexandria Bibliotheca, where I honed my communication skills while interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds. My role as a Front Desk Receptionist at Gold's Gym Alexandria allowed me to develop strong problem-solving abilities and a knack for managing customer inquiries effectively.
Currently, I serve as a Spanish Customer Service Representative at G&S Medical Associates in the USA, where I successfully improved call handling efficiency by 30% within my first five months. My experience as a restaurant owner and manager has further equipped me with the skills to manage operations and foster positive customer relationships. I am passionate about helping others and strive to create a welcoming environment in every role I undertake.
