I am an avid learner and love being in a profession that continuously grows and changes. I am always up for the task of learning and educating those around me to keep sharp and engaged in my work. Being an underwriter has been both personally and professionally fulfilling because I am able consult insurance agents on a myriad of stressful and complicated matters. Its an incredible feeling to contribute on such a large scale. Being an underwriter has been rewarding not only professionally, but personally. It feels amazing to be directly involved in the altruistic business of delivering the peace of mind to our insureds when they experience a crisis. I am always up for the task of being the leader or collaborating as a team member. Becoming an experienced underwriter has offered me the autonomy to make critical decisions and accommodations based on years of study and experience. My passion is creating and nurturing business relationships. As an underwriter working directly with clients on a daily basis for 9+ years I have become adept at the art of relationship building and the amazing results that ensue. I’ve worn many hats in my career as an underwriter; researcher, manager, marketer and strategist. As a result I have the unique ability to manage many multi-disciplinary projects and navigate complex challenges. "If you're not afraid to fail you have a chance to succeed, but you're never going get there unless you risk it all the way...I was a failure. Sometimes half the fun is failing, learning from your mistakes waking up the next morning and saying "Okay. Watch out. Here I come again "a little' bit smarter, licking my wounds, and really not looking forward to getting my butt kicked the way I did just yesterday. So now I'm just a little more dangerous..." _ Paul Heyman, Manager, Producer, Advocate.
