Mandisa Thanda
@mandisathanda
I’m a dedicated Data Capture and Customer Service professional who turns accurate records into better decisions and positive customer experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hard-working, detail-focused professional with experience across data capture, customer service, compliance-driven work, and client support. I’ve worked with “manual and automated data entry,” “database management and data tracking,” and I’m able to meet job demands and deadlines through consistent diligence.
In my most data-centered roles, I tracked registers, uploaded information to share point under the correct cohort, and captured site visits on OneStream—while calling youth, reporting incorrect information or complaints under “Hr Matters,” and improving results through weekly team meetings. I also bring strong client-facing strength from work as a call center agent and financial advisor, including budgeting support for funeral plans, reinstating lapsed policies, and achieving weekly targets and case counts. More recently, I supported online communities as a chat moderator and contributed to AI quality through language support tasks like prompt writing, response rewriting, and model rating.
