One of the newest team members here at RMIC, I love working with people! Having 25 years in the hospitality industry has taught me to not only anticipate my clients' needs, but exceed their expectations. Whether I'm making you a specialty craft-cocktail or finding you the best insurance coverages possible, I've got you covered. As a current resident of Boulder, I've been enjoying the mountain life since 2019, with hiking, camping, wheeling and fishing as some of the top activities on my list.

I moved to Colorado in 2016 to finish my degree at CSU in Painting and Business. I fell in love with the outdoors and how eco-forward this state is with sustainability, solar, and water quality. Since working at Rocky Mountain Insurance Center, I’ve learned even more about this beautiful state and the people in it. I have a love of helping people with their health, their sustainability journey, and now helping people with insurance. I have a holistic podcast with my Mom, where we talk about all things conscious living, healthy water systems and holistic healing. I’m the newest team member at Rocky Mountain Insurance Center and I focus on customer service. I look forward to working with you!

I have lived throughout Boulder County for over 20 years and currently reside in Erie. I love this great State of Colorado very much! Like a lot of us here, I have a love for the outdoors. You can find me hiking, biking, skiing, camping, glamping, or simply taking a long drive up in the mountains. I love every chance I get to soak up some sunshine. Music is something that I just cannot live without. I enjoy almost any type of live music I can find. Red Rocks Amphitheatre is one of my very favorite places to find serenity, whether there is music or not. I am a mother of one beautiful, smart, and adventurous daughter and she keeps me on my toes, and young at heart.
I have an extensive background in hospitality and customer service. Previous to joining this amazing team at Rocky Mountain Insurance Center I spent 15 years in the beer, wine, and spirits industry, focused mainly in wine sales the last 8 years. You could say I know a thing or two about a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
I am very excited to assist clients with all insurance needs and I look forward to speaking with you.

I joined the Rocky Mountain Insurance Center team in February 2020, working as a marketing and social media specialist. I love connecting people through social media and am so excited to strengthen this agency's client connections!
I'm a local marketer, specializing in social media and B2C marketing. Originally from Kansas, I've lived along the Front Range area for over 16 years. I've got 2 young kiddos, which keeps me pretty busy, though I love to read and rollerblade when I can find the time!
