Hey, I'm Ann✋🏽 Customer Support Specialist with 6+ years of experience resolving high-volume tickets via email, live chat, and phone. I help businesses deliver fast, professional support that keeps customers happy and coming back. I've managed multi-channel queues using Zendesk, HubSpot, and Google Workspace — handling order issues, refunds, billing inquiries, and escalations daily. In my last role, I maintained a 95% CSAT score across ~20 cases a day. A customer named me personally in a 5-star Google review as "an excellent customer service professional."

Are you losing customers because of slow, unclear, or unresolved support? I fix that. I help SaaS companies retain customers and grow revenue by delivering support that is fast, precise, and leaves customers satisfied enough to stay and spend more. Over the last 5 years, I have supported customers for three international clients, maintaining a 95%+ customer satisfaction score while handling more than 50 customer inquiries daily across email and chat using Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, and Intercom. My experience includes diagnosing and resolving technical issues while maintaining 98%+ SLA compliance, reproducing and documenting bugs, analyzing application logs, identifying root causes, and applying documented fixes to improve first-contact resolution. I have documented and escalated defects for engineering teams, managed support tickets in intercom, zendesk, freshdesk, Salesforce and Jira with 99%+ accuracy, translated technical issues into clear guidance for customers, conducted screen-sharing sessions to resolve issues without escalation, and maintained knowledge base articles that reduced repetitive inquiries. I consistently maintain a first response time of under 2 hours, a QA score above 98%, and escalate critical defects within 6 hours to help reduce resolution times. Working with me means reliable, timely support that reflects your company's tone and keeps customers informed. I stay on schedule, meet agreed deadlines, and aim to make every customer interaction a positive experience. Send me a message, and we can discuss whether I am the right fit for your team.
