What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated customer support specialist with a strong background in travel and technology sectors. My journey began with a focus on providing exceptional service at Etraveli Group, where I honed my skills in managing complex travel itineraries and resolving customer inquiries efficiently. My experience spans various roles, including a Customer Service Representative at Binance and a Technical Advisor at AppleCare, where I developed a keen ability to troubleshoot and provide solutions in high-pressure environments.
Throughout my career, I have consistently strived for customer retention and loyalty, employing strategic planning and effective communication to enhance the customer experience.
