Successful client service depends on clear communication and efficient work. It is my goal to serve clients by providing consistent communication and working in an efficient and diligent manner, effectively utilizing available resources to provide a solution. Whether the claim is set for litigation or the client seeks an alternative, I strive to evaluate each claim and prepare the necessary defense strategy and recommendations. Each client presents with unique circumstances and it is my goal to tailor a strategy and solution to each claim.

I enjoy traveling abroad and exploring new sites. It is my goal to travel all seven continents— South America, Australia, and Antarctica are remaining on my list. When I am not traveling, I am avidly reading award-winning, nonfiction books or training in Muay Thai Kickboxing.
