Multi-Campus Compliance Issue — Surfacing & Resolution Support

Role: Administrative / helpdesk support officer. I identified and helped resolve the issue — final decisions sat with leadership.

The Situation

Application card sales across multiple campuses had an unauthorized process embedded in the workflow. Leadership was abroad. Upper management was pressing for immediate escalation.

What I Did
  • Surfaced the issue to direct command and upper management while leadership was abroad, helping coordinate communications across time zones
  • Helped structure a clear recovery deadline and tracked it through to full payment
  • Documented all communications for institutional protection and audit trail

Proof of work

Real work. Real tools. Real results.

Zapier · Gmail · Sheets · Slack

Automated Support Ticket Triage & Alert System (Self-Initiated)

Self-built proof-of-concept Zapier automation connecting Gmail, Google Sheets, and Slack. Captures every incoming support email, logs it to a centralized tracker with timestamp, sender, subject and status, and fires a real-time Slack alert to the team channel. Skill-proof project — not a paid client engagement — tested successfully end-to-end.

CEO Travel Expense Tracker

Built an automated CEO travel expense tracker with a SUMIF budget dashboard for a December 2025 multi-city executive itinerary. Tracked 11 trips across Canada, Texas, and New York against a $15,000 ceiling. Flagged a $750 budget overrun before month-end close — enabling leadership to adjust spend proactively, not discover it retroactively.

Why teams work with me

Customer support meets operational execution — that's where I do my best work.

I've held the line in high-volume support environments — fintech merchant accounts, institutional admissions, and multi-channel ticket queues. I approach every conversation with the HEART principle: Hear, Empathize, Apologize, Resolve, Thank. But I also look past the ticket in front of me to the process behind it — so future customers get a better experience, and the team stops fielding the same issue twice.

How we work together

From backlog to SLA-clean — in 30 days.

WEEK 1
Queue & Tool Audit

I get into your ticketing stack (Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot — whichever you run), map current SLA targets, escalation paths, and recurring case types.

WEEK 2
Live on the Queue

Picking up tickets, owning escalations, and documenting recurring issues into your knowledge base. SLA targets are the baseline, not the goal.

WEEK 3-4
Optimization

Weekly review of FRT, resolution time, and recurring case patterns. By day 30, your queue is cleaner, your SOPs are tighter, and handoffs to engineering or partner teams are crisp.
