What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own technical claims end-to-end, collaborate with clients and suppliers, and keep driving SLA performance—using clear communication, strong process ownership, and continuous improvement.

I’m a technical insurance claims handler with hands-on experience across motor, fraud/scam, and pet claims. I’ve managed end-to-end claims—from logging through settlement—and I’m known for driving results by working to SLA’s, meeting targets, and going the extra mile to keep service levels from being disrupted.

In my most recent role, I owned a sole-handler caseload and became the “face of claims handling,” attending client update meetings and providing VOR (vehicles off road) updates. Earlier, I helped build a fire and theft claim process from scratch, strengthened supplier relationships to validate claim authenticity, and shared the knowledge to enable other handlers to manage technical cases confidently.
