What I'm looking for

I seek a claims role where I can apply catastrophe and auto expertise, lead teams, improve cycle times and compliance, and deliver excellent customer outcomes.

I am a licensed insurance claims adjuster with 5+ years of experience handling over 3,000 auto and catastrophe claims across 20 states, skilled in CCC One, Mitchell Cloud Estimating, Virtual Assist, and open shop negotiations. I consistently deliver fast cycle times, clean documentation, and customer-focused communication, and I am authorized to issue payments up to $20,000 with zero compliance escalations.

Promoted to Admin Supervisor for driving compliance accuracy and team performance, I improved compliance accuracy by 25% and maintained 95% customer satisfaction through calm, direct conflict resolution. I also founded and operated a logistics company for 15 years, managing a team and operations that generated over $100,000 annually.
