What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills and problem-solving abilities in a supportive and collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated professional with a Bachelor of Arts in Maritime Studies from Texas A&M University at Galveston. My experience spans various roles, including my recent position as an Underwriting Service Assistant at State Farm, where I honed my skills in error identification and application processing. I take pride in my ability to meet set goals for processing speed and quality while maintaining effective communication with colleagues.

In addition to my work in underwriting, I have a background in educational support, having served as a Developmental Learning Classroom Aide and an After School Instructional Assistant. These roles allowed me to develop strong problem-solving skills and foster a positive learning environment for students. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a unique blend of organizational and interpersonal skills, making me adaptable to various professional settings.
