What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a permanent remote support role where I can bring my customer-service experience to a focused team. I'm available for the required UK-hours schedule.

At Qatar Airways, I delivered customer service to passengers from around the world, handling requests, complaints and unexpected situations while following strict procedures. That experience taught me to listen carefully and respond calmly under pressure.

As a Property Practitioner in Cape Town, I handle enquiries from buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants across phone and digital channels. I follow up with clients and keep track of requirements and next steps.

I ran Michael Neill Apparel from 2020 to 2025, answering product and order questions and helping customers make confident buying decisions. I also handled customer service, sales, suppliers, staff and day-to-day operations.

My earlier work in luxury retail, teaching and brand representation strengthened my ability to explain information clearly to people with different needs. I'm now looking for a permanent remote support role where I can bring that experience to a focused customer-service team.
