What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven, detail-oriented insurance professional and licensed multi-state property and casualty adjuster with a military background and over five years of hands-on experience in special investigations, claims adjusting, and workers' compensation across multiple jurisdictions. I have led complex fraud investigations, prepared thorough investigative reports, coordinated with law enforcement and legal counsel, and supported litigation and EUO processes to secure fair, compliant outcomes.
I bring extensive state-specific claims expertise, strong policy analysis skills, and proven customer engagement abilities from roles at Hagerty Insurance, Aetna, Safelite, and as a business owner. I am committed to integrity, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement, and I actively seek roles in organizations that value initiative, accountability, and professional growth.
