I possess an insatiable desire to learn and grow, always eager to expand my knowledge and explore new opportunities.

Passion is the driving force behind everything I do, infusing my work with enthusiasm and dedication.

Currently, I serve as a Community Manager at Coinmetro, where I have developed and implemented a comprehensive community engagement strategy. Through my efforts, I have built and grown a vibrant community of users, investors, and enthusiasts. I take charge of creating and managing events, such as events and announcements to foster engagement and raise awareness within the community. Additionally, I oversee the moderation of various social media channels, ensuring positive interactions and prompt responses to inquiries and feedback. Collaborating closely with the marketing team, I contribute to the creation of informative content, including blog posts, newsletters, and social media updates, to keep the community informed and engaged.

Prior to my role as a Community Manager, I held the position of Support Senior Supervisor, where I provided excellent customer service. I grew strong relationships with customers, ensuring their satisfaction and loyalty. Recognizing the need for increased efficiency, I designed and released a frontend bot that reduced the workload of customer support agents. Furthermore, I played a key role in developing and maintaining an up-to-date internal knowledge base, equipping agents with accurate information to deliver exceptional service. As a team member, I successfully led the migration of systems from Intercom to Zendesk, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal impact on customers. Immersed in the community, I actively built robust relationships with our customers, contributing to the establishment of our brand in the market.

With my diverse skill set, unwavering passion, and commitment to excellence, I am well-equipped to tackle new challenges and make a meaningful impact in any professional setting.
