"I’ve been proudly serving as a State Farm agent since 2010! After opening my first office in Shelton, I was fortunate to expand and open a second office in Olympia in 2016. We’re eager to assist customers in Shelton, McCleary, Elma, Allyn, Union, Grapeview, and Matlock, as well as throughout Mason, Thurston, and Grays Harbor counties—and the entire state of Washington!

Our agency is thrilled to offer a wide range of State Farm products and services, including Auto, Home, Renters, and Life Insurance.

Growing up in Olympia and graduating from Pacific Lutheran University, I’ve always felt deeply connected to this community. My husband and I now live in Shelton, where we enjoy boating, traveling, and spending quality time with our three children and two wonderful grandkids. Fun fact: one of my children is also a State Farm agent!

I was inspired to become an insurance agent because of the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping our customers financially when the unexpected happens. At our agency, we are dedicated to educating our customers about the various protections available to them. We take the time to explain their options and how insurance can work for them—without any pressure.

We’re also passionate about giving back to our community. We proudly support local teachers and schools, food banks, domestic violence centers, Adopt a Pet, All Kids Win, and much more! Through our Community Buck Program, we donate $25 to a charitable organization whenever someone mentions the organization while getting a quote at our office.

Looking for a new insurance policy? We’d love to assist you! Call, text, email, or visit us at our Shelton or Olympia office—we’re here to help!
