My Background


As a New York Life Agent, I sincerely believe that most people want to do what's right: right for themselves, right for their families, and right for their communities. In fact, that's one of the reasons I joined the company back in 1999. 

You can take comfort in the fact that I have been a proud resident of the Yuma community for 40 years, and therefore have a vested interest in seeing my friends and neighbors succeed. As a wife and mother of 2 children, I have many of the same hopes and aspirations as my clients and am happy to share with you all the resources New York Life has to offer.

Depending on your needs, I can introduce you to some proven, dependable ways to help protect your family's lifestyle and future; or prepare for major financial events such as paying for college, saving for retirement, or caring for an aging relative. If you're wondering about my qualifications, you might find it reassuring to know that I am a licensed agent to sell insurance through New York Life Insurance Company and a Financial Services Professional licensed to offer securities product through NYLIFE Securities LLC, Member FINRA/SIPC, a Licensed Insurance Agency and a subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. I am also authorized to sell health insurance products offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of AZ, United Healthcare, HealthNet of AZ and various other independent, unaffiliated insurance companies. In addition to my 17 years of experience, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University and I am a graduate of New York Life's award-winning training program, NYLIC University, and have been awarded New York Life's Executive Council membership1, Rookie of the Year1, and Annuity Elite Champion1.

I have been a State board member, local president, secretary, and am a current member of NAIFA (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors), a current member and past treasurer/secretary of Fort Yuma Rotary Club, and a past board member for the Arizona Western College Foundation, Yuma Community Theater, Yuma County Work Investment Board and United Way of Yuma County, 

Of course, my background isn't really the one that matters. To be the best possible agent, I've found that getting to know my clients – their hopes, dreams and goals for the future – is the most important first step. So if you're looking for someone that's ready to put their expertise and experience to work for you, please let me know.
