Senior Field Representative
CurrentI am a Pricing Division Senior Field Representative for Property Insurance Association of Louisiana. PIAL is an established, non profit company in business for over 130 years and is responsible for setting the fire, wind and contents insurance rates on buildings throughout the state of Louisiana. As a field representative, I am the face of PIAL to the business community as well as to the insurance agents which write policies in the state of Louisiana. While at PIAL I have consulted with both insurance agents as well as business owners on a daily basis in order to gain access to commercial properties in order to accurately determine requested buildings' fire, wind, and contents insurance rates. Part of my job includes communicating with business owners/insurance agents; determining square footage, construction, and any applicable risks of a given building; analyzing blueprints and building specifications; reading sprinkler system schematics; over the road travel between buildings; and data input of all information pertinent to each inspection completed. My job is extremely important because it helps identify potential losses associated with fire and wind damage to buildings. By consulting with customers and providing quality reports and assessments, I am able to save both business owners and insurance agencies money. I am responsible for 10 parishes in Northwest Louisiana and have handled all requests for inspection within an average 14-day turnaround. I was asked by my supervisors in September of 2014 to go to Marlton, NJ to train with ISO/Verisk for specialization in Commercial Underwriting field surveys.
