I can help you plan for life using a variety of tools, including…

I enjoy working with…
people. I believe God has placed me in this position to impact others, no matter what crossroads they are at. I enjoy working with college-aged people and young adults starting off in the "real world," young married couples just beginning their journey together, families planning for the futures of their children, those approaching retirement, our farming community and small-business owners.

I believe in the vision of our organization. I have a heart for people and my community.

It has offered me the opportunity to put others first and to give back. It is my passion to make every person I encounter know that with Modern Woodmen I am here from the beginning to the end.
The best part of my career is…
helping my members and walking through all of their life stages hand-in-hand. Whether it's creating a budget, planning for their retirement or protecting their families with life insurance, I feel good knowing I helped make a positive impact on their lives.

It is so hard to narrow down this to just one event. Over the last 10+ years, I have been so blessed to work with so many wonderful families and businesses, making an impact right here in Delaware. I can't imagine doing anything else!

I understood the importance of life insurance when I first started my career and completed my first death claim. When I was able to present the life insurance check to the widow, I knew for that brief moment that she felt a weight was lifted. We insure our phones, cars and appliances everyday ... I am very passionate about insuring what is most important to us -- our lives -- and replacing an income that was vital to the family.
