    I have had the pleasure of helping our area seniors since 2004. I work as the Operations Manager, making sure that our clients are 100% cared for every step of the way! I enjoy talking with our clients and getting to know them while helping them navigate a big milestone in their lives. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Family is everything, and we try to make our clients feel like part of our family.

    I’ve been an agent here since 2017. I work closely with our clients to help them understand their Medicare options, such as Supplement vs. Advantage plans. I also help with a multitude of inquiries, claims, and reimbursements. I love reading and cats! I have over 1,000 books currently in my apartment (and growing).
