Experienced claims adjuster and operations professional in insurance.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced claims adjuster and operations professional with extensive work across insurance, finance, banking, healthcare, transportation, and government sectors.
I have handled large-scale catastrophe property and auto claims, processing supplements, fast-path and daily workloads, and negotiating with public adjusters and attorneys while using platforms such as Symbility, Xactimate, Guidewire, and ImageRight.
My background includes project and contract management, financial analysis, tax preparation support, and business ownership where I recruited teams, managed schedules, and built client relationships for commercial cleaning contracts and events.
I bring strong communication, analytical, troubleshooting, and mentoring skills, and I am adept at system updates, quality control, and resolving complex claims and contract issues to drive timely, compliant outcomes.
