Ann Marie Retuerto – Customer Service Representative

Hello everyone, I am Ann Marie. I am 30 years of age and a single mom of one. There is no greater joy than to see my Kyrus live a wonderful and happy life and I am beyond blessed to have him. All my hard work and sacrifices are for him and no matter how challenging and hard life will be, I can get through it because of my son.

Going back years ago, I envisioned my dream job as booking flights for customers while researching my own at the same time… plus I get to discount my own trips and adventures. Who would not love that job?!!! I spent a year there and needless to say, I developed some very marketable skills. I mastered sales, customer service and other travel bookings.

I loved every minute of my job but I had to go home to Cebu for some emergency reasons. I went home with a heavy heart because I had to leave the job that I had been dreaming about most of my early life. But I did not leave empty handed for I acquired very useful skills there.

Those skills have become handy because my next job was with DELL and XBOX. It is a multinational computer technology company. It manufactures, sells, repairs and supports personal computers, servers, computer software, cameras, printers and electronics built by other manufactures. I was with customer service and technical support. There were endless challenges and rewards. I was very dedicated in my work that after a month of taking calls, I finally had the break I had been waiting for… I was promoted as Case Manager, handling case management. I got to meet with clients, talk with them and understand their needs.

I dealt with people who are in difficult situations, offering advice and figuring out what kind of assistance they needed most. I loved that job.

Then Kyrus happened. 🙂 My miracle baby that I kept praying to God that he would overcome the illness he had. I needed to stop working and focus on being a full time Mum to my little man. During this time I thought that the love between me and my partner would last a life time but I was wrong. He left us.

He left me with a newborn suffering with lung injury, respiratory and metabolic asidosis. My little man was diagnosed with Broncho Pulmonary Displaxia – and he was in the Intensive Care Unit for a month and oxygen-dependent for six months. All of my life savings were gone. And it was a battle I never thought we would win. I was beginning to lose hope but seeing my little man fight gave me all the more reason to continue. Now he is 3 years old and I would do anything for him.

I believe that if you accept me to become part of your company, we will both benefit. I am passionate about giving my best to the task at hand and I would be honored to be part of your team and take advantage of every opportunity to grow, develop my skills, and help your organisation grow while being near my son.
