As a northwest native, I’ve spent most of my life in Oregon, with the exception of a “short 18-year stint” in the Seattle area.

 

I grew up in a family of six, where my siblings and I worked on my dad’s farm, learning the value of hard work.  After graduating from OSU with a business degree, I started my career in sales.  This is what eventually took me up to Seattle.  Having spent over 20 years selling everything from boxed chocolates to root canal supplies, I learned that what people seemed to value most was my ability to put them at ease from the start.  They also appreciated the fact that I actually did what I said I was going to do!  

 

A few years after living in Seattle, I met my future husband and father of our 2 children.  Unfortunately, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away prior to the birth of our second child.  This left me in a position where I needed to make some life-altering decisions. I ended up moving back to Oregon to be closer to family and to focus on being a mom.  

 

After taking time to heal, I did some soul-searching to figure out what I really wanted to do. I started doing some real estate investing, then eventually became a Realtor.  But something was missing.  After losing my husband and both parents to cancer, I felt the strong desire to work in a way that helped make a positive impact on people's lives.

​

I heard about cancer insurance and ended up buying a policy to protect my family.  A few years later, my agent called to ask if I knew of anyone looking for a great opportunity, since they were hiring. This sounded like the perfect opportunity for me, since it aligned more closely with how I wanted to help people. So I decided to join this amazing company called Globe Life/Family Heritage Division!

 

I currently live in Wilsonville with my husband and 2 sons, who are still in school. 

 

Honesty, integrity and humility that were instilled in me at an early age are a few of the core values that I live by today.

 

I've always had a passion for helping others by sharing what I’ve learned in hopes of making their lives a little easier. 

 

My pledge is to be available for my clients whenever they have a question or need to make a claim, so they receive their benefits as quickly as possible, which allows them to focus on what matters most...time to heal and being with the ones they love!
