About
Isaiah Dyrst
Ever since I was seven years old, I’ve had an unquenchable thirst for all aspects of business. From selling lemonade on the sidewalk to thirsty passersby, hot chips at school, collecting compost, and bringing thousands of dollars’ worth of customers to local business in Logan Square, I have made life easier and more enjoyable for people in my community. I have learned and continue to learn about investing, sales, marketing, customer service, and IT skills. I am bilingual, athletic, and I love to travel. So far, I have been to 30 states and 6 countries. I enjoy swimming, water polo, and ultimate Frisbee.
Many people say time goes by too fast, but I am always trying to do as much as humanly possible in the time I have. I am currently studying Customer Service at Year Up and pursuing a degree in Business. My skill set includes; Customer service, IT help desk, JIRA, Canvas, Facebook Ad Manager, troubleshooting, upselling, and an extensive set of soft skills. I would be a valued asset to a finance customer service team. My Cisco IT Certification, paired with my interest in money and years of customer service experience makes me an entrepreneur to be reckoned with.
