Summary

Well, I began my career in claims in 2004 when I was hired as a file clerk and eventually worked by way up to a claim's assistant, claims examiner, senior claims examiner into a Claims Supervisor since 2015. I'm a classic claims story about coming into the claims industry knowing nothing about claims, working hard and working my way up the ranks.
