What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated customer service professional with over 10 years of experience in various roles, including messaging agent, customer service advocate, and administrative assistant. My journey began at Unilever Philippines, where I provided high-level administrative support to the Chairman and CEO, managing meetings, budgets, and travel logistics. This role honed my organizational skills and attention to detail, which I carried into my subsequent positions.
At Telco Services International, I excelled as a Messaging Agent, where I identified customer issues and provided effective solutions while maintaining high performance standards. My experience at Amazon further developed my ability to deliver timely and professional customer service in a fast-paced environment. I thrive on challenges and am passionate about helping customers resolve their issues efficiently.
