Summary

I’m a customer service professional with four years of experience, motivated by a genuine passion for helping people and creating positive experiences. I’ve consistently been recognised for my ability to listen, communicate clearly, and resolve issues with empathy and efficiency. Alongside this, I am studying a Bachelor of Science, where I’ve gained practical lab skills such as [e.g., pipetting, spectrophotometry, microscopy] and developed strong analytical, problem-solving, and organisational abilities. These experiences have taught me precision, patience, and adaptability -qualities I bring into every professional setting.
