Ferndale is home—I grew up right here, and I’m so honored to be able to help my neighbors protect what and who they love. I became a State Farm agent in 2011 because I believe the right insurance partner can make a real difference for people, and it’s my goal every day to serve my community with plans that fit their lives. I work with people from Ferndale, WA, Whatcom County and the greater Bellingham area, including Blaine, Lynden, Birch Bay and Custer.

I’ve been part of the State Farm family for almost 20 years. I got my start supporting another agent as a team member, which gave me a strong foundation in open communication and customer service. I also spent five years as an agency field professional, working with agencies around the country on training and development. I bring all that experience to the office to benefit my customers every day. They know they can count on me to be there for them and to truly care about their lives. My amazing team of friendly insurance professionals is always available to answer questions and offer support, and we take pride in remarkable customer service always—in both English and Spanish.

I’m passionate about supporting my neighbors and my community however I can. I serve on the Ferndale and Birch Bay Chambers of Commerce, I give back to the Ferndale Food Bank, and I’ve never missed the Boys and Girls Club annual breakfast! Outside the office, you can usually find me running—I’ve done three marathons, and am usually training for something! I also love spending time with my husband and daughter, hiking, biking and enjoying the outdoors!

From auto insurance, home insurance, property insurance and life insurance to business insurance, health insurance and financial services, we are here to help. My office is always a friendly, welcoming place (for humans and pets!), whether you’ve worked with us for years or are just looking for some fresh coffee and a free quote! Give me a call or stop by today.
