Summary

I'm a diligent and extremely passionate worker with a solid history in customer care both over the phone and in person. Adept at resolving customer issues and improving service. I've demonstrated skills in communication and problem-solving through out all my jobs and have gathered a steady set of people skills along the way. Before I left my last job I won an award for Totally Devoted in Customer Care which I take pride in because I've always been a strong communicator and go above and beyond what is required of me in all my work tasks.
