Through a fast paced two year in house p&c underwriter training program, I quickly became well respected for my technical knowledge, along with effective communication and problem solving abilities.

Proven leadership skills in coaching and mentoring junior underwriters and underwriting assistants, as well as Vice President of the Staff Association, helping drive engagement within the company.
