What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use my Medicare Advantage sales experience and leadership background to grow revenue, coach a high-performing team, and be rewarded for measurable results and strong service.

I’m a Licensed Insurance Sales Agent with SelectQuote, selling Medicare Advantage plans and holding Health and Life licenses in 26 states. Since joining, I’ve focused on consistent outreach and performance, including sustained productivity with 50–70 hour workweeks.

Before insurance, I led teams as a General Manager at Five Loaves Cafe, driving culture, team performance, sales growth, and metrics—earning Manager of the Period, Quarter 1, and the year in 2019. I also bring experience coordinating patient cases at AmerisourceBergen and managing day-to-day operations in hospitality, with a track record of performance awards and low turnover.
