Welcome October! 🍂

With the crisp air starting to roll in, things may feel a little different—but the momentum is still yours to keep. October is a great time to stay consistent, make steady progress toward your goals, and keep showing up even as the season shifts.

Whether you’re launching something new, getting back into your routine, or choosing a slower, more relaxed pace, we’ve got you. Let’s stay focused and flexible—moving forward while also making space to rest, recharge, and enjoy what the season brings.

Now is a great time to be sure your policy questions are answered, and appropriate coverage—whether it's Auto Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, or other types—are in place.

My team and I are passionate about properly protecting you and your family and helping small business owners manage risk. If you don't know where to start with insurance, and even if you do, my team and I can't wait to help!

I love helping people feel confident about protecting the things that matter most. With more than 20 years of experience in insurance and financial services, I take the time to get to know each person and talk through options that make sense for them—whether it’s auto, home, renters, life, health, or planning for the future.

My State Farm team and I are based in Jackson, and we’re happy to help customers throughout Wyoming and Idaho. We combine the friendly, personal service of a local office with the support of State Farm’s resources and claims network. Have a question or just want to talk things through? Give us a call or stop by. We’d love to meet you!

I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and hold the Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®) and Chartered Financial Specialist® (ChFC®) designations. I’m also grateful to be part of the Jackson community. I’m a member of the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole and the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, and I have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. I’ve also served with the Teton County Housing Authority, the Old Wilson Schoolhouse Community Center, and the Jackson Hole Jaycees.

When I’m away from the office, you’ll usually find me enjoying the outdoors—hiking, running, skiing, or spending time with my family in the mountains.
