Why I do what I do

Why I do what I do

I am so blessed to be able to make a living by helping others as well as their communities. Each day, I sit down and help people overcome financial concerns and obstacles. I also get to help my community with our fraternal programs and activities. It’s very rewarding to be able to do what I do.

I serve members in…

South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota.

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

life insurance and annuities.

I enjoy working with…

families and those planning for retirement.

I attended…

Aberdeen Central High School.

I am very proud of…

being a Fraternal Insurance Counselor (FIC).

Before Modern Woodmen, I…

was a stay at home mother of four children. I also worked at the Ashley, North Dakota, nursing home and hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

I chose Modern Woodmen because…

I believe in the organization – not only for how it supports members to help them reach their financial goals, but also for the way it supports my community and allows me to give back.

The best part of my career is…

helping my members. Whether it's planning for their retirement or protecting their families with life insurance, I feel good knowing I helped make a positive impact on their lives.

A favorite moment in my career was when…

I understood how important our plans are for my clients. There were two deaths in my family where both were young men. One was shot accidently, and the other was in a car accident. Both had life insurance, and the parents were very grateful for the funds to have a nice funeral for the boys.

Also…

we have the best home office staff to work with. They are always there to help us or the members with any questions that we have!

What I like best about my community is…

the amazing people. It's home. People genuinely care for one another and give back to make this community great!

It’s very important to me to support my community. My favorite Modern Woodmen programs are:

enjoying social and educational opportunities with my local Modern Woodmen chapter.

My favorite memory from a fraternal event is…

The Matching Fund project we did for four families when they were hit by a tornado. We raised $74,000. We also helped clean up debris from a farmer's field so he could plant his crops.
