I have over 15 years work experience in the customer service field. These years were all in the energy industry where I worked as a Customer Service Agent, Key Accounts Executive, Stakeholder Liaison Officer and later Operational Manager. My key deliverables in all these positions was to give excellent service to customers, build and maintain relationships, while promoting the image of the company. I was actively involved in planning and executing blitz, outreach programmes, road shows and customer education drives. All these programmes were aimed at being visible enough to our customers and remain in contact, and this objective was well achieved.

I worked in the political directorate where I was serving in the Mayor's office. I put together the stakeholder engagement strategy for the mayor which touched on various activities and programmes. I represented the mayor's office in all meetings /gathering and reported back to the office. This was the busiest office with a large number of people walking in and calling with different issues to be dealt with. But I enjoyed the energy in this office.
