Seventeen years ago, I found that in Alfa, and so much more. I've worked in other departments during my career at Alfa, but Marketing Services is the department I call home. Family is everything and Alfa believes in that. Speaking of family, I'm blessed to not only have friends as coworkers, but my own family too. Between my daughters who work at Alfa and son-in-law, we have 55 years of service. At Alfa, our meetings begin and end with praises to God. We serve our community in many ways through volunteerism and contributions to a number of organizations. The integrity of our company shown to our customers is unmatched. Faith, Family, Community and Integrity are Alfa's core values that I've always felt the company truly lives out. I've had more growth opportunities than I could ever imagine and know there are many more to come. I love my job, the opportunity to give service with a smile and look forward to many more years here at Alfa! #J-18808-Ljbffr Alfa Insurance Corporate Careers
