Upon graduating from college, my friend's dad who worked for an insurance agency, suggested that I give it a try. I saw it as a great opportunity and gave it a shot. I have since been in the industry for 30 years, helping people with individual and group insurance.

I received my degree from Western University, and went on to become Licensed for Life Insurance. I am currently pursuing my license in Fire Insurance and Employment Benefits.

My biggest challenge is being in a male dominate industry and, at times, having confidence in myself.

Among my greatest strengths are my abilities to communicate and handle people on all different levels and my understanding of the technical side of insurance.

My greatest accomplishment is my family.

My professional goals include continuing to grow my business, effectively advising my clients and providing them with the best products and services, and to serve as an example for other women who are starting out in the industry.

I am inspired by my husband, my children and my desire to go beyond and above for people.

I want to be remembered for raising three strong, independent children.

I support the United Way.

I enjoy cooking, reading and yoga.
