Empathetic customer support specialist and virtual assistant with 8+ years turning high-volume inquiries into loyal members.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Customer Support Specialist and Virtual Assistant who thrives on calm, fast, high-quality member support across email, chat, and voice. With 8+ years of experience, I manage bookings, cancellations, account queries, and escalations while keeping every interaction clear and human.
In my current remote role supporting a US-based healthcare company, I handle high-volume inbound and outbound member communications independently during CST hours. I coordinate with internal operations to resolve appointments, billing queries, and account access issues—while tracking follow-ups and statuses in CRM-style records.
I bring a strong compliance mindset, verifying patient identity and maintaining strict data confidentiality protocols (HIPAA-aligned) in all communications. I also proactively spot engagement gaps and implement outreach workflows to prevent churn and keep members moving forward.
Earlier, as an Area Sales Rep & Customer Experience Advisor, I managed full member lifecycle in Salesforce and Zoho CRM and helped increase client retention by 30% and repeat engagement by 25% through disciplined follow-up cadences. I also trained and mentored a 50+ member customer-facing team, and in business development roles I built loyalty programmes that grew repeat business by 25%.
