What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and customer-centric solutions.

I am a dynamic and detail-oriented Customer Service Specialist and Project Manager with a degree in Business Management and Agile PM certification. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, optimize workflows, and deliver solutions that drive operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. I excel at analyzing data to inform strategy, managing stakeholder relationships, and implementing impactful initiatives that consistently exceed targets.

In my current role at The Health Lottery, I played a critical part in establishing the first internal contact center, resulting in a 25% reduction in average handling times. I also led an outbound campaign that successfully re-engaged 15% of lapsed customers, and designed a customer feedback system that boosted Trustpilot ratings by 36%. My experience extends to managing high-value claims processes and collaborating with various teams to enhance customer retention and satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strategic thinking and technical proficiency, delivering outcomes under budget and within deadlines. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create positive customer experiences and drive business success.
