When I was a child I dreamed of being a famous artist someday. I spent every spare moment I had either coloring or drawing on anything I could get my hands on. I loved the idea of creating something that had never been in existence before. I doodled my way through grade school, high school and even college. When I look back at my notebooks that should be filled with educational information on various subjects, I see pages of endless sketches and random images, none of which had anything to do with the subject at hand.

My art career started and ended in those notebooks. My parents were traditional (and wise) and they had their own goal for me. That goal was to land a job with benefits after college graduation. It did not make a bit of difference to them if I was working in a factory, in a museum, or for an insurance company, as long as I had benefits and was putting money away for retirement. For many years, I resented my parents for "not allowing me" to pursue my passion and "forcing" me into a sustainable career path. However, as I age, (I am in my mid 50's) I realize the gift my parents actually gave me. They gave me the gift of personal responsibility. I have learned over the years doing what you want to do is usually only possible if you do what you have to do. I have also learned when you are passionate about what you have to do, it actually turns into something you want to do.

Over my 30 years with State Farm, I have become passionate about helping others. At its core, that is what my career is all about. I have taken my passion for creating art and turned it into a passion of creating better lives for people in my community. It has been a truly rewarding career thus far and I am so grateful.

My parents moved us to the Ripon/Green Lake area in 1978, when I was just 8 years old. In 1993, when I had graduated from college and took a job with State Farm in Northern California, I moved away. From 1993 - 1999 I held several positions with State Farm and was fortunate to live in and experience several different areas of the Country. I even met my husband Tim at State Farm. We were married in 1997 and we have two brilliant and beautiful daughters.

While I loved everything about State Farm and all the adventures it afforded me, I had also dreamed of returning to the Ripon/Green Lake area someday to raise our children. Never in my wildest dreams did I think there would be a scenario where that could happen. Then, in 1999, I was offered a position in Ripon as a State Farm Agent. I was literally about to realize my dream and State Farm made it happen Tim left his 12-year career with State Farm claims in 2005 to help me grow the Agency and to immerse ourselves in the local communities.
