My insurance journey began in 2009 and has been filled with purpose, learning, and meaningful connection. My passion is helping individuals navigate health insurance transitions with clarity, confidence, and care.

If you're approaching Medicare for the first time, I understand how overwhelming it can feel. The good news is that I’ve guided more than half a million individuals through this important process. I’ve created Medicare 101 classes to serve as a personal roadmap, and my approach goes beyond policies. I focus on helping you understand your options while preserving your trusted healthcare relationships.

If you’re an insurance professional looking to make a real difference, I’d love to connect. At PDX Insurance & Associates, we’re more than a team. We’re a supportive family rooted in genuine client care and active community involvement.

I’m also a certified Positive Intelligence Coach, and I integrate this training into every client and broker relationship. Whether I’m guiding someone through a major life transition or mentoring a colleague toward new opportunities, I use these principles to build resilience, clarity, and long-term success.

When I’m not serving clients or mentoring brokers, I host the Timeless Vitality podcast. It’s a space where we explore the challenges of life and the wisdom we gain along the way. These conversations have deepened my understanding of what truly matters—the hopes, fears, and dreams behind every decision.

What sets me apart is a belief that every transition is an opportunity. By blending deep industry experience with a coaching mindset, I help people move forward with peace of mind and purpose. At PDX Insurance & Associates, we call that the space where compassion meets necessity.

Ready to take the next step? Whether you're seeking guidance through Medicare or exploring your next professional chapter, I’m here to walk with you.
