First Vice President,
Homestreet Insurance Agency
Spokane, Wash.

Years at company: 14

What goes around comes around
Right out of high school, I applied to a P.O. Box number for an administrative assistant and file position. This was for a local insurance agency, and I started at that job and over the years moved up to CSR, agent and then to manager. I give credit to everyone who provided me with knowledge. I just hired a receptionist, and she has realized how interesting the insurance industry can be and she already is pursuing her license. I was lucky enough to have someone take the time to teach me, and now I have the same opportunity to pass that knowledge to someone else. It's come full circle. A lot of young people don't know that insurance is a viable option for employment, and I'd like to get involved with high schools and speak about the industry.
