@michaeltaylor1
I’m a guest experience specialist who delivers high-touch customer care and precise service coordination.
What I'm looking for
I’m a guest experience specialist with 7+ years delivering high-touch customer service across email, chat, and phone, consistently maintaining 99% accuracy in records and documentation. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I manage service resolution, scheduling coordination, and end-to-end case ownership.
In my most recent role as a travel specialist, I coordinated inbound and outbound inquiries for travel options, reservations, and budgeting in a remote setting. I maintained a monthly Quality Score of 99%, advising customers on complex travel dates and availability while independently owning day-to-day service execution.
Previously, I served as an account receivable & payment integrity and clinical claims & appeals specialist, where I resolved sensitive disputes with a 95% success rate and ensured 100% compliance through careful auditing. I also investigated complex claim denials, gathered proof to overturn rejections, and implemented a scheduling and follow-up system that reduced processing time while maintaining 99% adjudication accuracy.
I bring an integrity-first mindset to remote work as well, including enforcing confidentiality and security protocols while supporting and monitoring remote exams. I’m also upskilling in technical support and digital security through Cisco and HP LIFE, combining customer empathy with dependable technical troubleshooting.
