Customer service and sales specialist with 11+ years’ high-volume experience—ready for remote support and customer success.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer service and sales professional with 11+ years of experience in high-volume hospitality environments, where speed and empathy both matter. I’ve managed 50+ daily customer interactions and resolved escalations while staying calm under pressure.
In my current role, I lead a team of up to 15 staff across front-of-house, POS, and delivery coordination during peak service hours. I maintain strict accountability for transactions and order accuracy, and I’ve driven improvements—reducing service errors by 15% and increasing efficiency.
I bring a practical, modern toolset to customer support work, including HubSpot CRM, Zendesk, Intercom, and Google Workspace. I also work with Slack and Notion to keep responses structured, track issues, and support clear handoffs.
Now I’m transitioning into remote customer support and customer success roles, combining real-world operational experience with modern systems. I’m especially motivated by first contact resolution, proactive de-escalation, and using insights to improve the customer journey.
