EDNA OJIAMBO
@ednaojiambo
Insurance and office administration professional skilled in claims, underwriting, and executive support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an insurance and office administration professional with experience across claims, underwriting, and day-to-day executive support. In administrative assistant roles, I manage executive calendars and coordinate daily office operations, supplies, equipment, bookings, and client visa logistics, while organizing files, preparing reports, and handling internal and external correspondence and data entry.
In insurance roles, I’ve advised brokers, agents, and direct clients on coverage options, prepared quotations, and issued policy documents, letters, and endorsements. I’ve also processed and managed claims by opening, registering, and reserving on new and existing claims, writing claim notes and reports, verifying documentation, issuing claim letters and repair authority letters, and supporting payment requisitions. I’m detail-driven, service-oriented, and comfortable juggling high-volume workflows with strong communication and customer care.
