Work Experience
Navarik Sept 2018-Current
Data Entry Specialist/QA/Trainer
Processed numerous, complex reports while maintaining a high accuracy level. Developed a continuously growing understanding of Oil Tanker/Vessel Inspection Data from various inspection companies and clients such as Chevron and Shell and all of their diferent Inspection Report formats. Became adept with a variety of terminology and phrase variation from all around the world in order to process international reports. Created records of vessel movements to compile for an average that can be used in the event that the true fgures cannot be used. Checked for errors in the data. Ran weekly meetings for the team occasionally. Proposed the assessment of the varying difculties of the various reports and helped carry out the creation of a difculty rating system. Provided detailed, honest feedback and new ideas for the data entry system to the development team. Volunteered to handle the more difcult reports to allow the team to help reduce the backlog of the more simplistic reports. Tested new aspects of the company’s interface. Assisted other departments when needed, occasionally cross training to fll other roles. Called, interviewed, tested and welcomed new employees as well as provided in depth training via calls, chat screen sharing and side by sides, with a steadily increasing rate in how quickly new employees completed training, due to my constant tweaks and improvements to the training materials and program as well as empathetic understanding on an individual basis.
Wrote an easy to follow manual as an improvement to the previous training resources, which was also used for the purposes of training the new employees, and cross training those from other departments for various reasons. Catalogued records of format variations and the correct parsing process and later uploaded the information to a live document to allow others to record novel situations and new report formats. Helped improve and recreate a new training and welcoming program for working at home due to the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. Performed as the MC for the company Christmas Party of 2019.
