What do you attribute your success to?
I'd say I'm a spiritual person. I have faith in whatever is up there. But I'd also say my mom, for sure. She's been like my rock through everything - my cheerleader, my support, my coach, everything. Even at our Thanksgiving sometimes, we talk claims, and it's funny. Both of my sisters are also adjusters, so we're all in the know. My mom has been a huge influence and she loves what she does - she's had tremendous experience in the property field.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
It's not always about quantity, it's always about quality. That's the best advice I received from one of my old managers when I first started in claims. I was a desk adjuster then, and she was like, it doesn't matter how many claims you get, it matters how well you adjust these claims. That makes the most sense to me.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't let them see you sweat. Insurance has been very male-dominated, so you have to be strong and not show weakness in this field.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is that when people hear insurance, they automatically hate it. But the opportunity I see is educating folks on insurance - not just on the front end when they're initially purchasing insurance and they just know they got a great quote, but helping them understand what they're covered for, what the real value is, what their exclusions are, what their deductible is, and if it's even worth filing a claim because that deductible is always going to be applied. People see a document, which is essentially a contract that is binding, but they don't take the time to read the fine print, which is all fine print. I think there's so much room to educate folks on that. The opportunity to take the time and coach and explain and educate people is the real value I can bring.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Just doing things with empathy and compassion, fairness. Everything done out of love. I think that's a value and a moral I was raised on - do it with love. I'm in an industry where I want to help people. I have a plethora of knowledge and I'm bursting at the seams - I want to give it to people. I try to find so many areas where people could just use help, and I just want to help people and bring joy to folks.
