Life & Career Milestones

My path in life took a while to figure out

  • 1.

    I tossed around career possibilities in my head: teacher, social worker, non-profit development.

  • 2.

    I didn’t see them working out long-term. I panicked – what was I going to do?

  • 3.

    I took the leap when I was offered a position with a large commercial insurance broker.

  • 4.

    I now work for an insurance and risk management staffing firm, and I get to run our college recruiting division!

Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Myself:

    I know nothing about insurance... it sounds boring!!

  • How I responded:

    I took the leap when I was offered a position with a large commercial insurance broker where my best friend was employed. I went through my company’s “intro to insurance” course. I learned so much!!!! That’s the beauty about insurance – there is so much to do, so much to learn, and so many opportunities to find your “niche”.
