Summary

I took time off to be my mother's gaurdian before she passed, thus the break in professional career.

Energetic and enthusiastic insurance professional motivated to succeed in fast-paced and deadline-driven professional environment. Comprehensive knowledge of claims adjustments with special knowledge of auto appraisals and CCC pathways estimations.

Insurance in my niche. I am detailed oriented, have implemented process and change, new programs, in house bonuses for production and attitude. I love Adjusting and Insurance, as it feeds my need to look at facts, pick up details, and be a firm but empathetic ear to my clients.
