I'm a customer service professional improving client experiences, scheduling accuracy, and administrative processes.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting clients at Direct Repair Leaside Inc., where I manage reception, process payments, assist with claims, compile vehicle damage appraisal reports, and implemented a scheduling system that improved data accuracy.
I've also supported customers and business operations at Shoppers Drug Mart and Tangerine, while applying my social work training in adoption services at Durham Children's Aid Society. I bring customer service, conflict resolution, data management, coordination, and a relationship-focused approach to every role.
