What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in customer service that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a sociable and customer-centric professional with over 6 years of experience in the service industry, dedicated to ensuring client needs are met and contributing to revenue generation. My career has been marked by a consistent ability to build and maintain strong business relationships, leading to the realization of revenue goals. I excel in customer relations, relationship management, and business development, with a proven track record of resolving customer issues and enhancing satisfaction.

In my recent role as an IELTS and TOEFL Speaking Teacher, I have successfully guided numerous students towards achieving their language goals through tailored instruction and feedback. My previous experience as a Customer Service Personnel at Tarko Shell Local Eatery further honed my skills in customer engagement, sales, and operational efficiency. I am now eager to leverage my expertise in a fast-paced organization where I can contribute to profitable growth in customer service across diverse setups.
