10 years ago, I stumbled into the employee benefits industry by accident. I was planning to go to law school (fun fact - I had even taken the LSAT), but a long-term mentor of mine convinced me to consider healthcare and employee benefits.I changed my law school plans (sorry, mom and dad!), completed my MBA in Healthcare Administration, and have grown into a seasoned leader in the EB space. I have fallen in love with this sector and am fully committed to positively impacting it. I firmly believe that employee benefits serves as a strategic business objective and competitive advantage for organizations, and ultimately, can drastically improve the lives of employees.Key achievements include:*Creating and building the top performing go-to-market channel at Northstar.
