Work Experience
Claims Adjuster
MSI/QBE (Alacrity) - Remote
May 2023 to January 2024
While working at MSI on behalf of QBE, I specialized in the management of HO3 insurance claims related to hail, wind, and water damage. I also worked a handful of theft related claims. My responsibilities encompassed the orchestration of both the initial claims process and the supplementary phase. I conducted evaluations, reviewing field adjuster's estimates, photographic documentation, and detailed reports, ultimately formulating coverage determinations in strict accordance with the policyholder's insurance provisions. In cases where the reported cause of loss necessitated external services, I orchestrated the engagement of appropriate vendors. I possess the unwavering confidence in my ability to successfully oversee the entire claims process, from the initial point of contact to the disbursement of supplemental payments.
