I'm an insurance professional who enjoys rising to a challenge and overcoming obstacles by identifying solutions. During my career, I have developed underwriting guidelines, marketing material, processes, and procedures. I identified strategies for long-term growth, collaborated with other teams and negotiated resources. I also cultivated customer relationships to grow the business. As a highlight, I successfully started a new underwriting team and created new products. In addition, I assumed leadership responsibilities for a team historically experiencing double digit premium loss year/year and turned it around to double digit growth year/year while creating an inclusive team environment. As a leader, I thrive in achieving corporate goals while developing people and helping them achieve their personal goals. Outside of insurance, I am passionate about helping the most fragile people, particularly women and girls, around the world reach their full potential. I work closely with World Vision as a volunteer advocate for international programs and funding and was recently named Top Advocate. I am an advisory council member of Strong Women Strong World and a frequent guest speaker promoting women’s economic empowerment programs.
