Client's Who Trust US
A little about me
My insurance career began as an analyst and later financial specialist with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation where I gained in-depth knowledge of how insurance companies are structured and operate during both hard and soft markets.
After half a decade of comprehensive regulator experience, I decided it was time to move to the industry side of the coin. Working at a large insurance carrier provided an even deeper understanding of not just insurance company operations, but executive-level strategy setting, execution, and more.
This experience sparked intense interest and ongoing exploration into how similar companies can equip themselves to better manage potential threats and seize opportunities in an extremely volatile market.
In case you are wondering, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from the University of West Florida and a Master’s in Risk Management/Insurance from Florida State University. I’m an exercise fanatic, enjoy mystery novels, and relish spending time with my family.
