What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced commercial insurance underwriter with a strong background in evaluating risks and determining appropriate coverage. Currently, I work at CNA Insurance, where I focus on soliciting new growth opportunities and ensuring that multi-line renewal accounts have the correct coverage and limits. My role requires effective communication and collaboration with my underwriting manager, line of business specialists, and agents to deliver exceptional service.

Prior to my current position, I gained valuable experience as a Commercial Policy Services Rater at Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance, where I supported underwriters by completing quotes and analyzing application information. My journey in the insurance industry began with my role as a Farm & Ranch Underwriter at State Auto Insurance, where I honed my skills in risk assessment and coverage determination. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, having completed my Associate in General Insurance and earned the Commercial Lines Coverage Specialist designation.
