### Product Management Intern @ ClaimDeck
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Dallas, Texas, United States
ClaimDeck is an InsurTech platform that streamlines data exchange between insurance companies and law firms to lower the cost of investigating, adjusting, litigating and resolving claims.

Our platform reduces the burden on claim adjusters to keep track of hundreds of law firms and learn their individual reporting styles by creating a space for more efficient, uniform and transparent claim and case management. This provides claims adjusters with a live dashboard to review litigation progress.

Additional stakeholders in the claim process can also be given access to the platform to make their information and process contributions more streamlined and give them access to view relevant data without contacting adjusters.

Results: Sped up the process to ease pressures on billing staff. Saved many hours doing manual tasks; saved employers' costs.
