I am the box office coordinator for the Dallas Theater Center. I manage the box office employees day to day, work performances, and handle all ticket related reports. I work extensively in Tessitura, pulling marketing lists, creating promo codes, building shows and seasons, and troubleshooting any ticketing issue brought to me by staff or patron. It is equal parts personnel management, customer service, and CRM database management. “Enjoy the show!”

After training to work in Permits and Contracts, I was moved to Appointment Setter which had an immediate opening. I handled in-bound phone calls from potential clients seeking to have their property evaluated. I was required to consider location, property type, driving conditions, and scope of the job while setting appointments. It was a fast paced environment and no two days were the same.

I handled in-bound phone calls from potential clients seeking to have their property evaluated. I was required to consider location, property type, driving conditions, and scope of the job while setting appointments. It was a fast paced environment and no two days were the same. I recently returned to SFR as the permit coordinator. I work remote, filing all necessary paperwork to obtain the permits needed for the job. I troubleshoot portal issues and problem solve with city officials and sometimes engineers to get the paperwork through. It requires one to be very detail oriented as every city is different and can change their policies at any time. I also work unsupervised, so I must manage my reports and create my own task lists to ensure everything is ready in plenty of time. I utilize Salesforce, Slack, Microsoft office, and a variety of government websites/portals and forms daily. Show less
