Teaching someone a skill is one thing. Teaching them to understand why that skill matters, how it connects to something larger than the task itself, is something else entirely. Alex Arriaga does the second thing. As a Claims Trainer at IMS, her work sits at the intersection of process and people, and she takes both seriously.
She describes what she loves about her role in a way that tells you a lot about how she approaches it. "I have an opportunity to share my knowledge and help others develop a strong understanding of our processes," she says.
"Helping my fellow team members build their skills and confidence while supporting their professional growth is one of the most filling aspects of my job." In a company where claims accuracy directly affects the people those claims belong to, having someone who trains with that level of intention matters more than most people realize, it's one of our superpowers.
Away from the office, Alex gravitates toward the people and things that ground her. Time with family and friends, building memories, and a good book when the day calls for quiet. There Was Jesus by Zach Williams and Dolly Parton keeps her company on the playlist, and chalupas have a permanent place on the menu.
When it comes to IMS, she puts it plainly: "One of my favorite things about IMS is how much they value and care for their employees. They create an environment where you feel like your part of a family, and the team-building events they organize help boost morale and encourage meaningful connections among co-workers."
That culture doesn't build itself. It's built by people like Alex, one trained teammate at a time.
We're so grateful to have her on this team.
