Personal Note
I’ve spent over 20 years assisting with and handling California workers’ compensation claims for self-insured employers, third-party administrators, and insurance carriers. I thrive in fast-paced environments where clear communication, practical problem-solving, and sound judgment matter, and I take pride in delivering timely, dependable results.
Outside of the office, I enjoy playing golf, watching movies, and taking walks along the beach. I have traveled extensively, including throughout Mexico and the United States. I also own a second home in Las Vegas, where I enjoy spending time.
