I'm a sales agent at J.Jacobs and associates. I became licensed in property and casualty insurance in 2010 and went on to obtain my life insurance license in 2016. In 2017, I earned my CISR designation with The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research. I've been employed with J.Jacobs and Associates for almost a year and truly believe the agency stands out in client care and service.
I find my position most fulfilling when I am able to have meaningful conversations with our clients about their risk exposures and gaps in coverage. Outside of work you will find me camping, hiking, and kayaking with my daughter, through our great state.
My first job after graduating from MSU was in the Risk Management department at Wayne State University as their CSR. I worked there for eleven years and completed my tenure as the Assistant Director for Risk Management. I have my Bachelor's Degree from MSU and my Associate in Risk Management designation (ARM) from Lawrence Tech. I now work at J. Jacobs & Associates in Lake Orion and started working at the agency 9 years ago. I have had my P&C license for 8 years. As the Office Manager in our Personal Lines Department, I enjoy helping customers achieve their insurance goals and believe we have the best staff here to accomplish that. Two "Best of the Best
Customer Service Awards" from 2018 and 2019 back this statement up. When not working, my husband & I, with 3 adult children now, travel the country to see our family and we bleed Green & White wherever we go. GO SPARTANS!!!!
I have a BA in Exercise Science from SVSU. I worked in Fire and Water Restoration for 3 years. I would go into people's homes to clean up after fire and water losses. This piqued my interest in learning more about insurance.
I saw the other side of the claims process and dealt with insurance companies and adjusters and got to see first hand how claims get handled and the cleanup process. I have since been working in insurance for a year and half and I got licensed right away. I have currently been with J. Jacobs for 6 months now.
I have been employed at J. Jacobs & Associates since July 2018, currently possessing my license in Property & Casualty. With a background in the luxury automotive dealership industry for 10+ years prior to J. Jacobs, I found the transition to helping people insure their assets to be quite gratifying.
When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, family, and friends, as well as camping, going up north, and supporting our Michigan sports teams.
I have been in the Insurance Industry for most of my life. Starting full time in insurance running this agency since 2001. I have a bachelor’s degree in Finance and a Minor in Computer Science from U of M.
Prior to insurance I worked for Comerica headquarters and ran a few restaurants.
I enjoy sports, finance, and my family when I’m not sitting at my desk.
I have been licensed in Property and Casualty Insurance for three years. I have worked at J. Jacobs and Associates since the beginning of September and had worked for Allstate prior to joining this team. I am very excited to be working at an agency that is so service-oriented. I love helping our customers get great rates and great service.
I am a part-time student and am currently working on obtaining my Associate's Degree in Accounting at Oakland Community College. I plan to further my education at Oakland University next fall.
My husband and I are new homeowners in the area and spend most of our free time working on home projects. I am an avid reader and runner, but most importantly, I am a huge fan of the Detroit Lions.
