About our Agency:

I opened this agency in 2018 after a 21-year career in business growth and turnaround leadership across several different industries, in roles spanning from small teams to global enterprise leadership, as well as entrepreneurship. The common thread for me was always helping people succeed. In this agency, that translates to building a workplace where my team can succeed and grow while doing meaningful work that we can be proud of; to helping our customers succeed by providing them with honest, professional advice and advocacy; and to using our platform to contribute and do good in our community - the place where I live and where I raised my children.

That purpose drives everything we do here - it's who we are. We offer a competitive benefits package, including 12 PTO days + 12 additional paid holidays per year, group health and life insurance, a 401k plan with a 6% match, and paid training programs designed to support your professional growth.
