I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with a minor in Business from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1996. After working as an Environmental, Health and Safety Coordinator for BRP USA, Inc. for many years I joined our insurance agency. I currently manage our agency operations and provide guidance to our commercial accounts on how to effectively implement and manage their safety programs. Personally, I enjoy fitness. I hold a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, have taught a cardio kickboxing class, enjoy lifting weights and have run several half marathon races. After our son was born with a congenital heart defect, I helped start a local chapter of Mended Little Hearts. Currently I am in the process of organizing a 5K run to raise awareness and support for congenital heart defect research. I am actively involved in our son Bobby’s school and serve as President of the Home and School Association. We attend St. Mary’s Church in Mt. Vernon and volunteer regularly. To further help our clients, Robert and I are obtaining our CPCU designations which will count as course credits towards our MBA. |
