I was born and raised in Central California and Bakersfield has been my home since 1993. I love our community and do what I can to help make it better. I'm a proud mother of 3 amazing sons. As a philanthropist at heart, I serve as an Executive Board Member for the Roadrunner Scholarship Fund at California State University, Bakersfield and as a Rotarian, in Bakersfield West Rotary.
After attending CSUB, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 11 years and then I finally decided to take a leap of faith and I opened my State Farm Agency on November 1, 2011. Since that time, it has been my mission to provide my customers with the freedom to enjoy life without the worry or wonder of the unexpected. #freedomtoenjoylife
Although I protect my customer's assets with auto, home and business insurance, nothing has been more impactful on my career than protecting families with life insurance. Shortly after I opened my agency on March 20, 2012, a single mother came into my office wanting life insurance for herself and her young adult children. This mother knew she needed to protect her family if something happened to her, but also she recognized the gift she was giving her children by protecting them at a young age. Never did she think she would need the death benefit in her lifetime. Unfortunately, exactly one month from the day on April 20th, one of her children was in a severe car accident and was killed. I know there is no amount of coverage that can eliminate the pain of losing a child, but having a death benefit available for the family allowed ample time to grieve. This mother was not forced to go into work after her 5 days of bereavement pay, she was able to be with her other children and grieve on her own timeline. I share this with you, not only because I am passionate about life insurance but because most people do not realize the importance of having the entire family protected.
We all have stories that have changed our life, I would love to hear yours. Stop by sometime for coffee and a chat.
