She writes CaseFilePrep incident-documentation checklists so readers capture the evidence that matters in the hours when it is still available, and understand which records a claims department will request weeks later.
Experience: Nine years as a first-party auto and property adjuster handling roughly 3,000 claims, followed by four years editing consumer-facing claims documentation guidance.
