As a people-person who truly does enjoy meeting new people, I thrive on new connections and partnerships. I also relish in problem solving and take my commitments very seriously. Add the love for helping people to the mix, and you get a recipe for being an insurance entrepreneur!

After graduating from UW, I climbed the ladder and became an HR manager. A few years later, I discovered that insurance was a natural fit for me, and my career quickly evolved from starting off as a captive carrier in 2006, to opening Mosaic in 2010 with my business partner, Paul. I don’t regret opening a brokerage company—I love all the options for our clients, including myself.

One of my skills is bringing people together and uniting them for a joint cause. I love building teams to be successful, utilizing each person’s unique traits/gifts. I believe in the power of short- and long-term strategies working together to both create the best results and build a strong, robust, successful business. The belief in the power of giving back and paying it forward is something I do in and out of the office.

Living a balanced life of work and play, I strive for the happiness and safety of my clients, teammates, family, and friends. Out of the office, I enjoy traveling, gardening, wine tasting, going to sporting events, and helping community causes. I serve on a number of boards, including ChildStrive, Homage Senior Services, and Economic Alliance Snohomish County.¬
