About Me
As a board member and mentor, I champion inclusive leadership and create pathways for women to rise and lead in the insurance industry. I believe in the power of collaboration, creativity, and purpose to drive meaningful change.
Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a simple principle: people first. Whether advocating for clients, mentoring colleagues, or building strategic partnerships, I believe in showing up with integrity, empathy, and a commitment to excellence. I’ve built a reputation for being a trusted advisor—someone who listens deeply, communicates clearly, and delivers results.
Whether guiding clients through complex risk management decisions or shaping DEI initiatives, I strive to make a lasting impact. I’m always open to new challenges, bold conversations, and opportunities to grow.
This site is a reflection of where I’ve been—and where I’m going. I’m passionate about contributing to organizations that value ethical leadership, inclusive culture, and long-term impact.
