If there was an image of an insurance lover in the dictionary, my picture would be next to it. I proudly proclaim the title of “insurance nerd.” Insurance is the perfect industry to pair my love to analyze word searches and solve puzzles with an empathetic heart as a servant leader. My insurance career spans roughly 20 years in claims, independent agency & brokerage customer service, academia and strategic development in education and content initiatives. I have served with several insurance associations as Career Awareness Chairperson, Corresponding Secretary, Vice President, President, Director, and Board representative. I optimize each opportunity to share my passion for the industry, as an avid advocate for recruiting, developing, and equipping new talent to be successful in it. As a strategic leader for industry education I have developed and implemented the continuing education vision and business strategy for enterprise market growth. I often collaborate with various content providers and clients to drive execution of organizational and department goals. Oversight includes regulatory compliance with various state agencies and acting as an enterprise compliance leader. As a learner myself, I can contemplate the needs and journey of those navigating education systems. Sharing knowledge and empowering others really brings me joy. I believe that knowledge is power. It provides you with the opportunity to not only be successful, but also to have influence. Asking why and how are two tools that I use to find opportunities for innovative solutions. Leveraging the answers to these questions allows me to move strategically and formulate a vision best suited for the organization. If you are looking for tips and tricks or ways to revolutionize and innovate in insurance and risk management, I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate your journey to expanded knowledge.
