What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my insurance investigations, loss control, and risk-assessment background in a role focused on identifying exposure early, preventing losses, and delivering fair outcomes for clients.

At Farmers Insurance, I investigate property, commercial, and workers’ compensation claims using OSINT and link analysis to protect policyholders and reduce loss exposure. I partner with claims, underwriting, legal, and agency teams to identify emerging risks and turn findings into practical loss-prevention guidance.

My background also includes property claims, behavioral threat assessment, fire and life-safety inspections, building code enforcement, and crisis response. I’m a licensed Property & Casualty Adjuster and Fraud Claims Law Specialist focused on finding exposure before it becomes a loss.
