First and foremost, I just want to thank you for visiting our page and sharing this time and space with me. I have dreamt of this moment for the past 15 years (to be a State Farm Agent). To be here today is an honor and I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to serve you!
I was born and raised in Wheeling; In 2006 I started my journey with State Farm, at this very location, as the previous agent's receptionist. I had no sense of direction. I was insurance and financially illiterate and had zero money to my name. All I knew was that I wanted to be a social worker and specifically help people like my parents who continuously got taken advantage of because no one took the time to get know them on a personal level.
Through hard-work and a relentless mission, for 15 years, I gained so much knowledge and experience working my way up to becoming a State Farm Agent. My journey allowed me to grow as a team member into management and developed a vision that I saw for our customers... for our neighbors... for our communities: An office, a territory, and an entire community of collaborative efforts of turning caring into doing.
I want to lead with that because I feel that given the short time we allow ourselves to have, this little piece of information is truly the hard-wiring of what makes me who I am and what has driven my persistent pursuit of becoming and maintaining my aspiration to be recognized as a pillar in my community. I am not a surface type of individual, I have been told that I am “too deep” of a person and I care “too much” and quite frankly that deeply rooted passion to advocate for the individuals who may not have the resources to champion for themselves is the reason why I am here.
Additionally to my career, I am deeply involved in my community as an activist for non-profit-organizations such as C.A.S.A. of McHenry, Bernie’s BookBank, The Honeycomb Project, and The Wheeling Township Center. I am an avid supporter to our local businesses and make it a conscious effort to shop local. Community first, always! Together, we are stronger.
In my spare time, I enjoy: running, hiking, listening to Audible, watching documentaries and catching live music ... you may find me out throwing a peace sign while I'm riding my motorcycle or driving around in my Wrangler with my three beautiful children (Avian, Azaria & Alyza) and rescue doggos Juno (Pitmix) & Tellus (Sheppard/Bloodhound).
This 15 year journey to get to this point in my life -from being a broke kid without a vision to a well-rounded, dedicated woman of purpose that has grown in every facet of my life, all while keeping my eye on the long term goal and that was to be in this very seat right now, backed up by the company that has gifted me the greatest gift in life: a platform to fulfill my life calling of representing and championing for the people in my community - is truly an honor.
Thank you for visiting our page and I look forward to serving you!
