I have a BS in Finance, Marketing and Risk Management & Insurance. This was the perfect pre-curser to what I do as a State Farm agent.
I started with State Farm in 1993 as a fire underwriter and became an agent in 2000. I am an active and engaged agent and you will likely find me on your left when you walk into the agency!
Studying my craft is very important to me so I can be of value to YOU. My professional designations are CPCU®, ChFC®, CLU®, CASL®, RICP®.

MORE ABOUT ME:
I was born into an Air Force family in upper state New York. I moved around the U.S. during my elementary years and lived in the Netherlands (Holland) during my junior high school years with my parents and brother. We landed in San Antonio Texas for my high school years and then I moved to Austin Texas to attend and graduate from The University of Texas at Austin. Hook 'em horns!
I married my husband, Dan, in 1987 and we have a 18 year old son named Chris. We enjoy guiding him thru his high school years and attending his basketball /volleyball games and golf matches. Chris will be graduating high school in 3 short weeks! We love pets and have 2 rambunctious cats - Mahina and Ike. I love to be active outside walking, hiking, running, golfing, landscape trimming, ElliptiGO riding, SUPn and skiing.
My passion and purpose are to help others achieve their financial goals, manage their risk and protect their assets by listening and getting to know them. It is so much fun to help others see how the financial and insurance worlds work together in achieving their goals while also protecting what is important to them. The sooner we chat the better!
