I am a licensed benefits professional and consultant with a drive for optimizing employee benefit offerings to help organizations attract and retain top talent, reduce claims costs and reduce administrative burden. I pride myself on staying up-to-date on the insurance industry as it is ever-evolving. I understand the importance of added protection via voluntary benefits first hand. In March 2021, I delivered my first child via emergency cesarean section 7.5 weeks early. Luckily, I had enrolled in a Hospital Indemnity plan upon learning of my pregnancy to help cover the costs of a lengthy hospital stay. This plan helped bridge the gap of my HDHP plan. Luckily, with careful planning & added protection, the costs out of pocket were very minimal (thanks to an HSA in addition to the hospital indemnity plan!)In my free time, I enjoy spending time at local animal shelters volunteering. I've previously served on the board of Dorchester Paws for over 3 years, in addition to my work with Big Brother, Big Sister of the Lowcountry. With my love of pets, comes many fur babies in our home - thank goodness for pet insurance.Above all else, my greatest accomplishment has been raising my two daughters: Della & Lennon. They are my drive and motivation to continually be better and do better.
