Summary

Professional claims specialist with strong record in handling and resolving complex claims efficiently. My tenure at Fortune Brands and my experience in various roles has taught me to build relationships with people in multiple departments.

My product knowledge has evolved over the years from troubleshooting and documenting issues to upselling in the call center environment to growing and protecting the brand. My current position in the Quality department has allowed me to collaborate with Field Services to better understand how our products impact the company on a larger scale. Skilled in negotiation, customer service, and building relationships.

Outside of my Fortune Brands career, I am experienced in planning, executing events and fundraising for a Cleveland brewery and for non profit benefitting CITY DOGS Cleveland.
