@lisaferasin
I coordinate bilingual customer support, administration, and operations for international teams.
What I'm looking for
I've managed daily operations across four catering businesses at Slice Newcastle Ltd, coordinating administration, staffing, suppliers, customer service, compliance, marketing, and operational records over 19 years.
As an elected councillor for North Tyneside Council, I represented residents, handled confidential enquiries, and liaised with council departments and external organisations. I also supported refugees and asylum seekers at Walking With, helping with Home Office paperwork, local-authority communication, and practical support during the Covid pandemic.
I've supported Italian citizens with passport, identity-card, and registration documentation through the Italian Consular Agency, translating documents and maintaining GDPR-compliant confidentiality.
I'm fluent in English and Italian and bring independent, relationship-focused support across customer service, scheduling, documentation, stakeholder communication, and complex enquiries.
