Experienced case manager and investigator focused on public safety and accountability.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced case manager, claims adjuster, and public-sector professional with over six years of investigative experience and more than twenty years in customer service and administration. I consistently manage complex caseloads from intake through resolution, apply legislation and policy to make defensible decisions, and coordinate with internal teams, external agencies, and community partners to achieve appropriate outcomes.
I bring proven strengths in communication, file management, risk assessment, and stakeholder engagement, and I am motivated by work that supports rehabilitation, accountability, and community safety. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and adept at working independently or within multidisciplinary teams while training and onboarding colleagues and contributing to process improvement initiatives.
