What I'm looking for

I am seeking a customer-facing role in a supportive, fast-paced team where I can apply communication, financial-advising and administrative skills, with opportunities to develop and use my design and technical abilities.

I am a dedicated customer-service professional with experience across retail, call centres and financial services, consistently meeting targets and handling diverse customer needs with maturity and confidence.

At Volkswagen Financial Services I advised on refinancing, PCP/HP, lease agreements and service plans, handled complex and vulnerable-customer cases, processed secure payments and managed escalations. I regularly used Salesforce, CRM, CMS and SAP to update customer, vehicle and financial records while supporting contract closures and refunds.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Industrial Design and Technology and bring practical merchandising and administrative experience alongside design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Fusion 360, Figma, InDesign); I thrive in fast-paced, customer-focused environments and enjoy opportunities to learn and grow.
