security that insurance coverage provides. I have a solid history in
administration, management, customer service as well as the

workers on a regular basis. I am an expert at defusing irate clients. My
experience includes five successful and rewarding years of experience in
Medical Office Administration and Management including resolving medical
insurance and Workers Compensation claims on a daily bases, which has
evolved into a desire to be further challenged in the insurance industry. I
also hold an Associate's degree in Computer Programming and Bookkeeping.

retirement which can be accomplished by the lucrative opportunities the
insurance industry offers.
