Michael Horaney

Objective

I work on the front end, a bridge between customer service and the staff who are the back end of technology. Using active listening skills, I connect the customer and the IT staff. I quickly adapt to changing environments, keeping tasks on track while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. I discern my roles and responsibilities and prioritize level of urgency and importance. Urgent, urgent important, important and non urgent/not important. I minimize wasted and duplicate efforts to maximize customer satisfaction and financial outcomes.
