What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values customer satisfaction and offers opportunities for growth and development.

I am a customer service specialist with over six years of experience in various roles, including call centers, chat moderation, and quality assurance. My background spans multiple industries, such as finance and digital platforms, where I have honed my skills in managing customer relations and conflict resolution. Recently, I completed training in medical customer service and successfully passed the ALTA proficiency test, further enhancing my capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong command of CRM tools and have been involved in video content creation and virtual collaboration. My bilingual proficiency in English and Swahili allows me to connect with a diverse clientele, ensuring effective communication and support. I take pride in my ability to lead teams, train new hires, and create standard operating procedures that enhance operational efficiency.
