Hello

Skills
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Experience in providing customers with service that goes beyond their expectations, in a timely manner, and with both accuracy and integrity.
With the combination of my work experience and collegiate studies I am well-accomplished in my ability to communicate with attention to detail. Taking into account frustrations I am able to use my positive energy to engage the customer and bring about a positive experience.
SELF-STARTER WITH FLEXIBILITY & PASSION
Customer service demands the ability to adapt to challenges and remain focused without significant supervision. Passion for a positive customer experience is imperative and drives me as an employee and person.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
There are times in customer service where the realistic outcome may not be the preferred outcome. The ability to resolve conflict with confidence and understanding is a skill which I feel I have both naturally and through experience.
TECH SAVVY
I have acquired a great deal of technical know how over time. Whether it be Google Hangouts, Google Drive, Skype, or various programs I’m in 100%.
Experience
In the time since leaving my last employee role I did a number of small freelance positions to remain stimulated while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree. These included mystery shopping, working with ChaCha in a fast paced virtual environment, and assisting with customer service/admin roles in various social media groups.
