What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Program Specialist with over six years of experience, I have honed my skills in customer engagement, operational support, and team leadership. My journey began at IBM, where I served as a Subject Matter Expert, helping clients transform their businesses by providing tailored solutions and acting as a liaison among stakeholders. This role laid the foundation for my ability to navigate complex challenges and deliver results that exceed expectations.
Currently, I work at Fortrea, where I am the primary point of contact for customers, facilitating operational and reimbursement support. My experience at Wells Fargo and Dollar General has further developed my customer service skills, allowing me to engage effectively with clients and ensure a positive experience. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and adaptable, always striving to maintain high standards in every task I undertake.
