  In the spirit of continuing to serve others, I have enthusiastically transitioned into my current role as a Licensed Insurance Agent, specializing in supporting the Medicare population in navigating through the complexities of the Medicare maze. Since I am a contracted agent with most of the largest companies in the area, I can truly find the most optimal options for each person without any fear of steering someone to a specific company for any reason other than appropriateness. It is my desire to help relieve the stress and confusion of the process by taking time to learn about each individual's situation and finding the best solution to fit their needs. Show less
