After college, I was introduced to a sales agent from UnitedHealthcare and immediately decided to enter the world of insurance, focusing on Medicare sales. I spent six years learning the industry, crushing goals, and moving up, from Agent to Agent Manager to Sales Director.In 2019, I was recruited by eHealth to join the Carrier Development team. Shortly after joining eHealth I transition to be the Director of Strategic Carrier Programs; a position developed specifically to capitalize on my talents. I am charged with helping the carrier team diversify while compelling the organization to think more critically about internal processes and how they align with industry best practices. My history as a successful sales leader in the insurance industry gives me the keen insight and expertise needed to develop and implement processes and programs that drive revenue, growth, and market expansion.I see obstacles as opportunities—driven by what others think can't be done. With the right strategy, expertise, teamwork, and determination, it can be done. Tenacious and unafraid, I tackle obstacles and challenges with fresh and innovative ideas. I believe in earning my rewards and doing the hard work it takes to succeed. Stretching myself, taking on challenges, and working beyond my skill level is how I approach life. Why strive for good when you can strive for exceptional?This was demonstrated during my tenure at UnitedHealthcare as a top performer across the company. With eHealth, I exceeded the annual revenue goal in first six months of employment, attained $10M impact through new revenue and saved expenses in 2021, and overcame multiple hurdles to launch an innovative program long with a new quality program which turned the program from an EBITDA expense to ROI positive.I believe in using data to drive decisions. Data can uncover trends that lead to new opportunities and identify emerging threats. I have a knack for accurately analyzing data and can translate data into actionable insights. I also ask the right questions to uncover the root cause or underlying problem. This supports well-thought-out, unbiased decision-making.Leading others comes naturally to me. A good leader empowers individuals to take ownership while providing a vision and setting clear expectations. Creating a team environment where everyone works toward a common goal has allowed my teams to achieve outstanding results.My daily focus is--what problem can I tackle, how can I improve the company's trajectory, and what can we do better?
