Professional Profile
With over 8 years in the customer service sector and the majority of it being focussed on Quality and Customer Experience. I am accustomed to team work and proactive analysis of all interactions. I have been exposed to different business units that have different clients but still having to not only assess but analyse data.
After being introduced to the Finance Sector I wanted to proactively incorporate risk management in my assessments which is why I did a course Risk and Banking Management. Working in an outsourcing company also meant that I needed to be accustomed to change. Leadership is also an important skill to have because you work closely with Team Leaders which is why I decided to do the Accelerated Supervisory Development Program.
After spending over 5 years in the Quality and Customer Experience sector I realised that this Department overlaps with the Training Departments (which I had already been exposed to) and to fine tune my proficiency I decided to become an accredited Facilitator, Assessor, Moderator and Skills Development Facilitator. My ability to balance being a forward thinker, analyst, coach and proactive team player makes me a great addition to a company.
