I graduated from University of Wisconsin – Madison with a double-major in Accounting and Risk Management and Insurance. A job opportunity at an insurance company presented itself and I decided to focus on a career in insurance. I started in Underwriting and a year later transitioned to the Marketing Department, as an Events Specialist. The opportunity to travel and meet a lot o ...
Life of PRMS
The Life of PRMS: Vanessa Mejia, Claims Assistant II
I joined PRMS in the Claims Department July of 2007. Coming from a background in the medical field, I was excited to learn that our company works to defend doctors. I speak with several of our doctors on a daily basis, as well as representatives from the hospitals where they practice. I enjoy the direct customer service that we provide all of our clients. PRMS is not your avera ...
The Life of PRMS: Lauren Dwyer, Account Advisor
I joined the PRMS family on April 30, 2012 as an Account Representative in the Underwriting Department and am now an Account Advisor. Before joining PRMS, I worked at a much larger company where I did not know the names of half their employees. I am now approaching my fifth year with PRMS and I can honestly say that it has been a wonderful experience working with highly talent ...
The Life of PRMS: Ann McNary, Senior Risk Manager
Almost 30 years ago, I left law school with the dream of becoming a charismatic family law professor (and my having watched a few too many episodes of Arnie Becker’s escapades on LA Law), as I had it in my head that negotiating divorces would be a really fun way to spend my career. It wasn’t long before I realized that this had not been my best idea and began considering findin ...
The Life of PRMS: Victoria Chevalier, Assistant Vice President, Underwriting
In addition to providing the best client service possible, a hallmark of PRMS is our ability to identify talented individuals and allow growth and new opportunities for our team. I am an example of that promise having started in 1998 as a temporary administrative assistant. A few months later, I was hired as a full-time assistant in the Underwriting Department and today I write ...
The Life of PRMS: Donna Vanderpool, Vice President, Risk Management
When I had accomplished everything that I had wanted to at my prior position managing a busy surgical practice, I was leisurely exploring what new opportunities were out there. I found an ad for a job that sounded interesting, but not actually for me because it was very close to the DC line in Virginia, and I will do anything to avoid DC. (Did you know that there can be two exa ...
The Life of PRMS: Christine Gray-Knight, Senior Litigation Specialist
I began my career with Professional Risk Management Services in the Claims Department in 2005. However, I started my insurance career many years ago handling automobile and injury claims for a major insurance company and felt this move to PRMS would be a good transition that would allow me to grow using my insurance background to assist psychiatrists with legal issues. Every ...
The Life of PRMS: Scott Alkire, Senior Litigation Specialist
In 2005, after handling auto and homeowner claims for State Farm for ten years, I was looking for something a bit more challenging in my field. I found it, and much more, at PRMS. I can say without reservation that my years at PRMS have been the most stimulating and rewarding years of my career. Frankly, before joining PRMS I knew little about the practice of medicine generally ...
The Life of PRMS: Justin Pope, Associate Risk Manager
In October 2013, I began working with PRMS as a risk management assistant. Whereas many of my law school classmates took the bar examination during the summer immediately following our graduation, I decided to take the examination at a later date, affording myself greater time for bar preparation and exploration of the job market. To cover any living expenses, I thought it best ...
