What motivates you professionally?

Helping people. Insurance can be very overwhelming, and I love when I can help someone to understand their polices. I also really enjoy the challenge of helping businesses find and secure affordable healthcare for their employees. The insurance landscape changes annually with new plan designs, services and pricing. Finding the best plan for my clients can sometimes be a challenge but they do exist, and I love it when we can find plans better than what they had the prior year for lower cost at times.

What do you consider to be your greatest success?

Owning my own business and overcoming Healthcare Reform to persevere to the successful Agency I have created today.

Who do you look up to or admire?

Honestly, there are too many to list, but other business owners that I know. As a business owner your work is never done. I truly believe that it takes a village to run a business. So, I try to surround myself with other professionals that I can share and bounce ideas off of to keep me on track. I find that we all have the same challenges many times and it is very helpful and comforting knowing that sometimes the way you feel as a business owner is normal.

When you're not working, where in Gilbert do you spend your time?

My family and I are very social. So, we like to shop and eat out a lot. Many times, you can find us of at San Tan Mall, Gilbert Regional Park walking the lake or catching a bite a Sal's Pizzaria, Vitos, TC's Pub and Grill.
