Outside of work, I’m actively involved in playing basketball and football, which have helped me develop strong teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. These sports require discipline, quick decision-making, and the ability to work effectively within a team to achieve shared goals—skills that directly support my professional role in customer service. Regular participation has also built my resilience, time management, and commitment to continuous improvement, all of which enhance my ability to stay focused, adaptable, and customer-oriented in a fast-paced work environment.
