What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on, dedicated team player with twelve years of professional experience in office management, customer service, and customs compliance. My adaptability allows me to thrive in multiple roles, and I take great pride in my attention to detail. I embrace change with curiosity and am able to react rapidly to evolving circumstances and requirements.
In my recent role as a Stops Clerk at Aramex Logistics, I was responsible for booking inspections for detained cargo and resolving customer requests related to Customs Stops. My excellent communication skills enabled me to liaise effectively with customers and internal teams, ensuring timely resolutions and maintaining positive relationships. I have a proven track record of handling escalated queries and providing professional service to customers at all times.
My experience as a Backline Advisor in Customs Compliance at DHL Express further honed my skills in customer interaction and documentation management. I am committed to ensuring that all customer interactions are positive and professional, and I strive to develop strong relationships with clients to facilitate successful clearance processes.
