As customer service professional with 6.5 years of experience in project management, customer relations, sales, and team leadership, I used these skills to bridge the gap between sales and operations while providing optimal service. After exploring a career change into nursing, I obtained a higher customer appreciation and a drive to provide a deeper level of hospitality.
