Automotive damage and insurance cost analyst delivering accurate, cost-effective claim outcomes through data-driven estimates.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an automotive damage and insurance cost analyst with 5+ years evaluating vehicle damage, writing repair estimates and supplements, and negotiating with insurance carriers to support accurate, cost-effective claim outcomes.
I focus on documentation, cost analysis, and multi-claim workflow management—analyzing repair vs. replace decisions, resolving discrepancies with adjusters, and coordinating parts sourcing and vendor timelines to keep claims moving smoothly. I’m now seeking to transition into insurance, underwriting, or analyst roles where I can apply data-driven decision-making and process improvement.
