With a multi-faceted career spanning work as a casualty and coverage attorney,  insurance claims person, underwriter, and executive, Rachel brings a wellrounded perspective to all of her mediations. She has worn many hats in the dispute resolution process including serving as: decision-maker, mediator, counsel of record, party representative, plaintiff, and insurance executive with final settlement authority.
