As a Risk Management professional, I have an extensive background in the insurance industry. I began my career as an Administrative Assistant for a local agent. After graduating from the University of South Florida, I became a Claims Adjuster for a large national carrier and later opened an independent full-service insurance agency that handled Personal and Commercial Lines and Financial Services. After successfully running First Heritage, I sold my agency and worked for a large independent broker in Private Client Services before beginning my career as the Risk and Claims Manager for the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority at Tampa International Airport. A third-generation Tampa native, I graduated from USF with a Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems, where I served as a Student Government Senator for the College of Business and was very active in the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority.Licenses Held: American Association of Airport Executives Certified Member (AAAA C.M.), Florida Resident General Lines (2-20), Florida Resident Health and Life (2-15), Certified Personal Risk Manager (2 of 5)
