Summary

I have worked in jobs that are customer focused and driven for over 20 years. I am currently working as a licensed insurance agent (licensed in Property & Casualty, and Life) and customer service representative. Prior to that, I was a finance manager for 3 different automotive groups managing my own finance office which consistently wrote $4 - $6 million dollars in loans each year. I have excellent customer service and problem solving skills. I am detail oriented and result driven. I have the ability to work independently and will meet all goals set while achieving high customer satisfaction.
