ABOUT OUR AGENCY
I’ve been a State Farm agent since September 2019, but I bring more than 20 years of insurance experience to the table, including work as a claims adjuster and in agency leadership. That background allows me to coach and mentor my team with practical knowledge and a genuine desire to help them grow.
I’m a proud graduate of Purdue University–Indianapolis, where I earned my B.S. in Psychology, and Indiana Wesleyan University, where I completed my MBA. As a family-owned agency with two children of my own, staying connected to the community is a big part of who I am. I serve as a Board Member for Project Will, supporting young adults with behavioral health challenges, and I’m an Indy Chamber Ambassador, helping welcome new businesses and strengthen local connections across Indianapolis.

Our office culture is friendly, laid-back, and growing, with a true work hard/play hard mentality. What sets us apart is our focus on growing personally, professionally, and physically, while still maintaining strong work/life balance. We believe in giving 100 percent when we’re at work and 100 percent to our lives outside of it. Service is also a core value for us. We volunteer quarterly as a team, most recently partnering with the You Feed Them Mission to support 70 local families.

We currently have four team members and offer meaningful benefits including a 4-day work week opportunity, a health care subsidy, PTO and paid holidays, a 401k, disability and life insurance, no weekend hours, and company-paid training. We’re looking for someone who is a true self-starter—someone who believes they can make a difference, is rooted in their community, and has a history of success. If you're motivated, caring, and ready to grow with a supportive and encouraging team, you’ll feel right at home here.
