What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support customers with insurance policy changes and claims, communicate clearly, and partner with teams to get answers fast. I value positive customer relationships, steady processes, and a supportive environment.

I’m an Agent Assistant at American Family Insurance, supporting two agents and helping customers manage policy and vehicle changes. I handle phone support, payment processing, and clear answers about policy information and vehicle coverage.

I also help customers file claims in Relate and coordinate next steps by working through Teams to connect them with claims adjusters. When issues come up, I reach out to billing and related agent assistance services to solve questions quickly and keep things moving for the customer.

Previously, I worked as a Claims Representative at Farmers Insurance Group, where I managed around 200 claims at a time. I contacted customers monthly, calculated wage loss, created required documents, and responded to attorney demands.

Before moving fully into insurance, I built my people-first and organization skills through education and youth leadership roles. From classroom music teaching to leading kids’ programs, I learned how to stay calm, communicate clearly, and support a safe, welcoming experience for others.
