I joined Leavitt United Insurance Services as vice president of operations in 2019 with over 20 years of experience in the industry. In 2022, I was promoted to serve as chief operations officer. In this role, I work as a co-owner managing the agency alongside Brian Mulholland.

During my career, I have held various positions including receptionist, account assistant, account manager, and account executive. I also worked as an operations manager, running a local independent agency for over 15 years. I have led projects for sales, operations, and agency acquisitions; created and implemented procedural workflows; and coached and led teams within my region. My strengths include motivating employees, agency efficiencies, streamlining processes and procedures, and facilitating agency and carrier relationships.

Working in these various positions has helped me understand the importance of all employees – I believe every position has a crucial role to play.

I started working in insurance shortly after graduating high school and attended a few years of college. “Insurance 101” has been my degree! I hold two industry designations: Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) and Agribusiness and Farm Insurance Specialist (AFIS).

I joined Leavitt Group because of their strong culture. At the time I joined, I was at a fork in the road with my career and took some time to decide where I wanted to spend the next 20 years. Everything pointed me to Leavitt. It feels like family, like the local agency down the road. I love the people I work with and everything about Leavitt.

I believe what makes Leavitt United different from the competition is our focus on the individual needs of each client. We realize not everyone fits into a box, and we customize solutions to fit each client specifically. 

I was born in Sacramento and grew up in Elk Grove, where I have spent over 35 years. I am a member of the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce. I love supporting my local community by volunteering for various charity events and youth sports organizations. I am a Peloton fanatic, and I enjoy kayaking, hiking, hunting, gardening, and spending time with my family and three amazing grandkids.
