Thaninga Mathe

I am a hard-working, friendly, and motivated person with a practical approach to problem-solving, a drive to see things through to completion, and a passion for providing excellent administrative and customer service at all times. In my previous position, I dealt with guests' inquiries and complaints both face-to-face and over the phone. I have successfully led and trained a team of employees and assisted them with onboarding to set them up for their success and the company's success. I can work well under pressure and I enjoy overcoming challenges.
