What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values communication and empathy, where I can leverage my skills in education and customer service to make a positive impact.

I am an empathetic leader and world-class communicator with a proven track record in managing complex projects and building trusting relationships. My experience as a 401(k) & Health-Insurance Customer Associate at Fidelity Investments has honed my ability to guide clients through intricate investment options and policy details, ensuring they understand their choices clearly. I take pride in achieving consistently high customer satisfaction by resolving complex issues efficiently and with empathy.

Prior to my role at Fidelity, I dedicated 15 years to education as a History Teacher and College Application Coordinator at Camelot Academy. I designed and delivered engaging courses that connected current world events to historical contexts, fostering critical thinking and civic engagement among my students. My commitment to their success is reflected in the 90%+ college acceptance rate of my advisees, demonstrating my ability to guide them through the college search and application process effectively.
