World-Class Creative Actor

Over ten years’ experience of world-class customer service with a proven record of being able to plan and oversee projects from conception to successful completion is the background I’d bring to your outstanding team.

While working in the Communication Operations Department at Comcast Cable as a Field Traffic Specialist, I resolved internal and external escalations. As an Advanced Services Repair Representative (Tier) in the Livermore Center of Excellence, I provided first call resolution to customer’s phone inquiries regarding services. In Lockbox Operations’ mailroom at Wells Fargo in Fremont, CA. my tasks included the coordination of information among various operational areas and customers. Also, for several years I excelled as a Research Analysis, Senior Computer Operator, and Data Processor at SRI International in Menlo Park, CA. I worked in the Geosciences and Engineering Center’s Advance Development Division processing classified data for various government projects.

I provided world-class customer service for Covenant Aviation Security (TSA) @ SFO as an Acting Lead, Que-Master, and Checkpoint Screener for Homeland Security. As a Tech Support Specialist II (Help Desk), I resolved high speed Internet wired and wireless broadband access solutions for Hospitality Network (AHN) business-class hotels at Arescom, Inc. in Fremont, CA.

I possess excellent communication skills which I believe to be a most valuable attribute in your world- class customer service position. Not only do I possess the qualifications you would want and expect in a successful team member, but I also possess another powerful intangible quality – commitment to excellence!

I am eager to show that my intelligence, competence, maturity, and enthusiasm will be a positive contribution to your organization. I welcome the challenge to perform multiple activities.

I am excited about the possibility of a personal interview at your earliest convenience to further discuss my credentials with you.
