Workforce absence and accommodation leader focused on accurate case management, reporting, and client-focused communication.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Workforce Absence Team Lead at Sedgwick, where I manage a team of Accommodation Coordinators and support a complex range of leave of absence clients. I’m trusted to generate, complete, and analyze daily, weekly, and monthly reports while ensuring leave accounts are handled with care and consistency.
In my previous roles as a Leave of Absence Representative II and Leave of Absence Coordinator/ADA Accommodation Coordinator, I managed 300–400+ and 200–300+ leave accounts, handled ADA accommodation requests, and managed concurrent leave of absences. I communicate consistently with clients and claimants, analyze medical information, and act as a liaison between clients and third-party admins to keep outcomes clear and on track.
I also bring a leadership and process mindset: I mentor co-workers, facilitate relationships, and create and maintain workflow and process guides for smoother case execution across teams. Alongside my professional work, I’ve built a strong academic foundation in English and writing, including an Honors Program thesis and published work centered on representation of disabilities in classical literature.
