@gorkaleon
Virtual assistant and remote customer support specialist delivering bilingual, high-volume CX.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Virtual Assistant and Remote Customer Support Specialist with 2+ years of hands-on experience in high-volume, fast-paced aviation BPO environments. I manage 80+ daily interactions via phone, email, and live chat across English and Spanish markets, with a strong focus on five-star client experiences.
I’m highly proficient in CRM platforms and booking systems, including Salesforce and Amadeus GDS. In my remote role, I handled end-to-end inbox management and ticket triage, processed EU261 compensation claims, refunds, and complex booking changes, and consistently supported SLA compliance with accurate documentation.
I also bring strong self-management and communication skills from independently planning and delivering youth football training sessions. I’m committed to remote collaboration, clear written/verbal support, and autonomously prioritizing my workload with zero micromanagement—using tools like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, and Microsoft/Google productivity suites.
