What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver first-contact customer resolution in a regulated environment, stay compliant, and hit KPIs. I want supportive teams, clear targets, and opportunities to grow my service and admin expertise.

I’m a Psychology graduate who brings deep behavioural insight to customer service, telephone support, and administration work in fast-paced, regulated environments. I’m known for calm, professional communication and strong enquiry resolution at first contact.

In my customer-facing roles, I handle high volumes of inbound enquiries and drive measurable outcomes by de-escalating conflict, resolving concerns efficiently, and protecting revenue. I apply needs assessment, objection handling, and tailored solutions while working to strict KPIs and performance targets.

I also support operations through careful systems navigation and compliance. I’ve managed CRM updates, accurate data entry, database maintenance, and documentation—while following GDPR, confidentiality rules, and relevant industry and organisational protocols, including NHS guidelines and court procedures.

Beyond service and administration, I bring structured analysis and organisation to my work—combining qualitative/quantitative interpretation, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning. I’m comfortable coordinating tasks, meeting deadlines, and collaborating with teams, and I’m ready to apply my skills to roles that value compliance, empathy, and consistent delivery.
