What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a customer-focused role where I can use my troubleshooting, documentation, and empathetic communication to resolve issues quickly. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments and supporting people with clear next steps and reliable follow-through.

I’m a customer support professional who delivers high-quality service through phone, email, and chat. At Cook Medical, I troubleshoot inquiries, resolve complaints in a timely way, and help customers navigate self-service tools like online portals and knowledge bases.

Before that, I supported publishing outcomes as a Concierge/PSA (Publishing Services Associate) with Author Solutions. I assisted authors with creating books from concept to design, organizing materials, advising on creative direction, and helping with copyright and permissions.

I also bring experience from call-center and care-coordination environments, including member account support, scheduling medical treatments, and handling workers’ compensation-related claims in time-sensitive situations. Alongside this, I’m comfortable with documentation, technical proficiency, and desktop support—skills that help me move quickly from issue intake to clear resolution.
