What I'm looking for
As a Live Chat Specialist with 7 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional real-time support in fast-paced environments.

I pride myself on my strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, which have been instrumental in my ability to improve customer experiences.
In my previous roles, I have successfully managed live chat support for reputable companies such as Barclays and IKEA. At Barclays, I handled up to 5 concurrent chat sessions, collaborating with internal teams to resolve escalated issues and ensure that key performance indicators were consistently met.
