Summary

I'm an multi level claims adjuster with several years of experience in the insurance industry. I have worked my way up from being a customer service representative, to a claims adjuster, and an Underwriter. I work very well independently and without much oversight of my management. They know I have the integrity to provide consistent, quality work. This is proven by my management reviews and always achieving an "exceeds expectations" rating. I have strong communication skills and have navigated through difficult conversations with insureds, claimants, customers and co workers. I have always done so in a professional and courteous manner. I enjoy investigating all kinds of information such as accidents, statements, damages, and information that could possibly lead to coverage denials or fraud reviews. I take pride in my work speaking for itself and providing a quality work product. I have a diverse insurance background and pay very close attention to detail.
