What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values customer engagement and offers growth opportunities.

I'm Gabrielle Elmes, a dedicated marketing professional with a strong background in customer service and health care. Currently, I work as a Receptionist and Head of Marketing at Mike Bays State Farm, where I manage front desk operations, customer interactions, and marketing initiatives. My role has allowed me to develop exceptional multitasking skills and a knack for personalized customer care.

Previously, I served as a Personal Assistant to the CEO at Family Church in Portsmouth, where I honed my communication skills by managing emails and coordinating meetings. I also produced and edited podcasts, gaining valuable insights into content creation and audience engagement. My volunteer experiences have further enriched my skill set, allowing me to work effectively in fast-paced environments while maintaining a focus on customer satisfaction.
