Summary

I’m a people-first professional with around a year of experience in roles that center on communication, problem-solving, and helping others — from supporting staff in HR to guiding students as an English tutor. I’ve developed a strong ability to listen, stay calm under pressure, and find solutions that make people feel heard and valued. Whether I’m helping someone settle into a new workplace or answering questions with patience and clarity, I take pride in creating smooth, positive experiences. I’m now looking to bring that same energy and dedication into a customer service role where I can continue making a real difference in people’s day-to-day experiences.
