Bilingual customer service specialist delivering empathetic, accurate support across industries.
What I'm looking for
I am a multilingual customer service professional with over 5 years of experience supporting customers across healthcare, education, travel, and tech sectors. I deliver empathetic, accurate, and detail-oriented service across phone, email, chat, and ticketing systems.
I am fluent in English and a native Mandarin speaker, which has enabled me to build trust with diverse international clients and de-escalate sensitive situations professionally. I have hands-on experience with Zendesk, HubSpot, and other CRM and productivity tools.
My background includes remote roles providing bilingual customer support, healthcare benefits assistance, and high-volume communication management, as well as in-person roles in education and as a flight attendant. I consistently maintain strong written communication and attention to detail under pressure.
I am adaptable, a quick learner, and eager to contribute to dynamic teams where I can use my language skills, conflict-resolution ability, and administrative strengths to improve customer experience and operational efficiency.
