Melissa Tellado
@melissatellado
I support customers, operations, and teams across retail, fulfillment, and service environments.
What I'm looking for
At Waterbox Aquariums, I handle product, order, complaint, and technical-support questions by phone, email, and chat through Gorgias. I also work with Operations and Wholesale to keep customers updated on their orders.
I maintain customer-service SOPs in Guru, ship small parts and products through Ship Station and Shopify, and maintain inventory. I provide feedback in support meetings and coach team members to help deliver strong customer support.
Previously at Rifle Paper Co., I supported in-store customers, resolved online product inquiries through Zendesk, and assisted operational, fulfillment, assembly, production, and quality-control teams.
My earlier work includes switchboard and front-desk support, payroll auditing, retail sales, merchandising, POS support, and stockroom inventory. I bring a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a desire to take on new challenges.
