People often ask me how I gained so much knowledge in commercial insurance at such a young age, to which my answer is always that I was raised by the best. As the old adage goes, it takes a village to raise a child; it also takes a village to raise a professional.

A lot of buzz lately indicates that industries in all sectors of business are in a race to bridge the gap between soon to be retirees and up and coming talent. The shrewd among the pack realize that the key to this is raising strong Millennials (people born between 1980 and 2000) as successors.

One of the most cherished roles in my life is serving as an advisor to one of the sororities at UNLV. In this position I get to connect with some bright, talented, and incredibly driven people. Given this unique connection to these young minds coupled with my amazing experiences working with some amazing seasoned folks I have grown a propensity for serving as a translator between the two generations.
