What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-focused role using my multilingual communication, travel operations, and dispute-resolution skills, with opportunities for responsibility and training.

I am a German-native multilingual professional with extensive customer service, travel operations, and credit-control experience across UK and German markets. I have led travel consultant teams, managed bookings and translations, handled customer disputes and fraud investigations, and worked with SAP and invoicing systems.

I combine language expertise (German, English, Urdu/Hindi) with strong administrative, proofreading and moderation skills, proven in roles from team leader and travel agent to customer account and health-advice positions. I am proactive about training and continuous improvement to deliver accurate, culturally appropriate communication and effective customer outcomes.
