Independent AdjusterProperty claims and restoration — daily files and CAT, primarily through TPAs rather than a staff carrier desk. Xactimate, Symbility, and heavy computer-based estimating are where I work best. Hands-on roofing, mitigation, contents manipulation, and supplemental scoping sit alongside the file work.
Work Experience

- End-to-end files: contact, inspection, estimate, report. Same story for carrier and insured — documented, timely, without noise.
Mayo ClinicJan 2024 – Present
Patient Care Technician- Moved to Florida when my grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After she passed I stayed to handle the estate, and took Mayo for stable work while settling.
