I have never liked being pressured into making a purchase. My mother always told me to stop and pray on it. When I chose this career, I wanted to make sure I brought that mindset to my clients. It is very important to help them achieve their goals while also respecting their budget. I sit down with families and take as much time as needed to ensure that when I leave their house, they are absolutely confident in the plan we have put in place.

they have always put their members first. I have been a member since I was a kid, and it always stood out to me how different Modern Woodmen was from other financial services companies. Each member really does become a part of the Modern Woodmen family. The community impact was a big draw for me; I grew up in a small town and got to see the impact Modern Woodmen' fraternal activities and fundraisers made firsthand.

helping people obtain peace of mind. It is so rewarding to see the relief on my clients' faces once they realize their families are protected with life insurance, and they have plans in place to help them thrive in retirement. On top of that, I also get to go out into my local community and give back through fraternal programs. It is such a blessing to make a living by enriching the lives of others!!

I truly understood why I do what I do. I delivered my first death claim to a family who happened to be close friends, and I got to see the positive impact I made on their lives by protecting their family with life insurance. Being able to see firsthand how the time I spent with them made such a difference in their lives was an amazing feeling and inspired me to continue helping others.
