Experienced customer service professional with a focus on training and support.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated customer service professional with extensive experience in various roles, including my recent position as a Goodreads Expert at Amazon. My responsibilities included editing and approving author applications, troubleshooting account issues, and ensuring compliance with giveaway policies. I successfully completed a TA program, enhancing my skills in stakeholder engagement and wiki management.
Prior to my role at Amazon, I served as a Virtual Customer Service Associate, where I honed my skills in refunds, returns, and customer care claims. My experience also includes acting as a Training Specialist, where I trained new hires and managed attendance and progress assessments. My diverse background in customer service and training has equipped me with the ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments.
Throughout my career, I have consistently met and exceeded targets, whether in customer service, financial consulting, or hospitality management. I am passionate about delivering exceptional service and fostering a positive work culture through effective training and coaching.
