I am a newly licensed health insurance agent based in Florida, where I’ve proudly lived for the past 13 years after relocating from New York. My professional journey has been rooted in service and care, beginning with a Bachelor’s degree in Pastoral Counseling and extending into a long-standing career in the dental industry. I also previously held a Property and Casualty license in New York, which gave me a well-rounded foundation in understanding insurance and client needs. My recent transition into health insurance was a natural next step, driven by my deep passion for helping individuals and families make informed, confident decisions about their health coverage.
Faith and family are the cornerstones of my life. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, I understand firsthand the importance of protecting what matters most. I serve as a spiritual leader in my church and find great joy in guiding others through life’s challenges, both spiritually and practically. I also lead a small Bible study group, where I’m able to connect with others on a deeper level and offer encouragement and support through shared faith and community.
When I’m not working with clients or serving in ministry, you can find me spending quality time with my loved ones or enjoying the company of my playful fur babies. Whether it’s family gatherings or quiet moments with my pets, these experiences remind me daily of the importance of compassion, care, and connection—values I bring into every client interaction. I’m here to listen, to serve, and to help guide you toward the right health coverage for your unique needs.
