She began her journey in the insurance industry in Huntsville, AL with a local independent insurance agency at 20 years old, working under insurance peers with a wealth of knowledge and over 75+ years combined experience. This experience put her on the path to a great career. Starting as a Clerical Assistant, she worked her way to Commercial Lines Account Manager then Commercial Lines Marketer and On-The-Job Instructor. This industry and job experience is what led her to iProtect in 2022 as Senior Commercial Account Manager and she now serves as Agency Manager.
In her spare time, she spreads her time between between dance recitals, softball fields watching her daughter, raising “Wildman Wells”, at the ball fields or courts watching her nephews play, or taking care of the “zoo” of animals she cares for at home. In addition to the insurance world and at home chaos, she has founded a volunteer ran, donation based, no-kill, non-profit animal shelter in 2021 in Marion County, AL, called Hoof or Paw. Her family and animals are the biggest part of her heart and the reason why she works so hard to succeed in her career.
