I was born in California, but have called Washington home for most of my life. I married my husband in Hawaii in 2009 and we have three beautiful children together. My husband is enlisted in the Navy, and because of that we were able to live on the beautiful island of Oahu for 7 years, returning to Oak Harbor in 2016.
Since returning to lovely Whidbey Island we have been exploring all that the island has to offer. When the weather is nice we love to get outdoors. We go on hikes often, visit the farmers markets and have begun a small garden full of our favorite fruits and vegetables. When the weather does not permit outdoor exploring, we enjoy perusing the shops and indoor activities like bowling, crafts and baking.
I have spent most of my professional life in the customer service field, from retail associate to front desk agent to real estate assistant. Whether it was finding the perfect gift or the perfect home, knowing you helped someone with their goal is always a good feeling. I look forward to being part of the team that helps you with all of your insurance needs.
