Customer Experience, Community Moderation,
and Multi-Platform Support System

Throughout my career, I have created tone-consistent, culturally fluent, human-centered interactions across Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and customer service operation software to improve sentiment, resolve issues, and build trust.

I have managed customer experience and community interactions across multiple channels such as Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok comment sections, as well as Gorgias through email, live chat and ticketing.

My focus has been to create clear, empathetic, platform-native responses that:

  • Resolve customer issues quickly
  • De-escalate negative conversations
  • Protect brand reputation
  • Reinforce brand tone and culture
  • Turn support moments into positive experiences

Tone and Voice Guidelines

  • Human, conversational, and empathetic
  • Platform-native language (Reddit ≠ Instagram ≠ Gorgias)
  • Avoid canned responses
  • Add contextual understanding (memes, community culture)
  • Honor frustration without inflaming it

Issue Triage and Escalation

  • Route technical, product, or shipping issues to CX leadership
  • Identify when a customer needs immediate escalation
  • Flag repeat issues as patterns
  • Turn public complaints into private resolutions via DM/email
  • Close the loop once resolved

Insight Surfacing

  • Recurring product quality issues
  • Shipping or warehouse trends
  • Unclear website information
  • Incorrectly communicated return policies
  • Customer confusion patterns
  • Opportunities for future content

Macro Creation

  • Reduce resolution time
  • Prevent repeated typing
  • Maintain consistent tone
  • Adaptable for Reddit, IG, TikTok, and Gorgias
  • Reduce ticket counts by answering common questions publicly
Tone: native · humorous · respectful · quick · culturally fluent

Focus: minimizing negative threads, replying inside high-traffic posts, matching subreddit tone, keeping brand "human", turning complaints into conversations.
