About
With a diverse background in customer service, sales, and management, I have honed my skills across various industries. I began my career as a Customer Support Specialist at Groupon, where I managed retail and online shopping support. I then transitioned to OVO as an Inbound Sales/Retentions Agent, providing technical assistance and account management for gas and electric services. At Youi Insurance, I excelled as a Sales Advisor, customizing insurance quotes and enhancing customer follow-ups. Currently, I manage operations at Imiihla Home Services, focusing on domestic services and expanding into volunteering. As a freelancer, I specialize in audio transcription, data entry, and administrative support, known for my reliability and strong work ethic. I am pursuing a Higher Certificate in Logistics, Materials, and Supply Chain Management at Boston City Campus, set to complete in 2025, to further enhance my expertise in the field.
