I am a college graduate with a B.S. in Business Administration from Livingstone College, and I have built a successful career in the insurance industry. My experience spans various roles, including Senior General Liability Examiner and Claims Adjuster, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to investigate and settle complex claims efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my excellent customer service skills and my capacity to think quickly in high-pressure situations. I have successfully negotiated with attorneys, handled litigated files, and attended mediations, all while maintaining a focus on achieving the best outcomes for my clients. My proficiency in claims operations and my ability to work both independently and as part of a team have contributed to my success in this field.
