## About

After nearly a decade working in a call center environment, my specialized position was phased out. I moved on to independent contracting, transcribing/captioning various media with accessibility in mind.

  · Monitored real-time agent performance using proprietary and Avaya phone systems, ensuring call processing goals were consistently met and improved, while maintaining regular communication with agents via chat and phone.
  
  In 2010, the positions transferred from in-office at West Corporation to fully remote as part of the At-Home project, which was later acquired by Alorica in Q1 2015.
- **Transcription Editor; Quality Assurance at Independent Contractor** (2018 – present)
