ABOUT OUR AGENCY:

I opened my first agency in 2009 and today lead 17 team members across three agencies. Before becoming a State Farm agent, I worked as a General Sales Manager in the automotive industry, where I developed a strong background in sales and leadership. I'm a UC Santa Barbara graduate, grew up in the Santa Monica area, have three children, and enjoy traveling and training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Giving back is a big part of what we do. Each year, we provide scholarship funds to help two students from lower-income families access educational opportunities. We also support Christmas in the Park, local food banks, and youth sports teams.

Our agency offers a 401(k), paid time off, paid holidays, licensing reimbursement, and a strong commitment to work-life balance. We also invest in our culture through an annual BBQ, team-building activities, and two planning conferences each year.

Our environment is high-volume, high-activity, and high-achieving, while still maintaining a close-knit, family atmosphere. I'm looking for someone who is self-driven, motivated, and ready to achieve. We value a growth mindset and people who want to improve by 1% every day. If you know what you want and are willing to work for it, we'd love to help you grow.
