New Member 2022
Category in GWBA: Insurance
I am your State Farm Insurance agent for Gurnee, IL and surrounding areas. I am licensed to do business in all of Illinois and Wisconsin!
My passion for helping people started at an early age. As a third generation State Farm agent, and the first female in my family to pursue this career, I am honored to provide insurance and financial services to our community. The opportunity to help people through their worst days and be there to celebrate their greatest days has been the highlight of my State Farm journey, that began in 2014.
I enjoy proactively and effectively helping people manage all the risks of everyday life. My team and I are available to help our customers properly protect their autos and homes while making sure they are taking advantage of all the discounts available to them. We take pride in creating personalized life insurance and health insurance plans that make sure their most important asset is protected.
