Detail-oriented fraud specialist with a strong customer service background.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated fraud specialist with extensive experience in customer service, fraud investigation, and conflict resolution. My career has been marked by a proven ability to research complex issues and provide solutions that minimize risk while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. I thrive in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments and adapt quickly to changing business needs.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my skills in fraud detection and customer relations. At Discover Card Services, I managed inbound and outbound calls related to fraud claims, ensuring that each case was handled with care and precision. My previous experience at Chase Card Services allowed me to investigate and resolve bank losses, where I utilized my analytical skills to protect both the bank and its customers.
With a strong focus on building relationships and delivering exceptional customer service, I have consistently maintained high-quality scores and compliance with strict policies. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to contribute positively to an organization while continuing to grow in my professional journey.
