I am an Associate Insurance Advisor at Co-operators. I recently obtained my Other-Than-Life General Insurance licence, and can now help clients with their Auto insurance needs. I also direct clients to the appropriate associate, make sure the office is running smoothly, and keep our information system up to date. No two days are the same, and that's what keeps me coming back for more!

I started with Co-operators in 2011 as a part-time home inspector. I then became licensed to sell and service Investments, as well as Life, Critical Illness, Disability, Business, Home and Auto insurance. I'm a proud graduate of the Algonquin College Business Financial Services Program as of May 2016. I have since finalized my studies and obtained the Certified Financial Planner® Designation (CFP), which is one of the highest recognized designations in our industry. I will continue my pursuit of professional excellence by working on my Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU) and Certified Health Specialist (CHS) designations. Being a CFP, I now feel even more qualified to handle my clients' investment, retirement and estate-planning needs. I take pride in our office’s focus on client service and I enjoy finding solutions that give peace of mind to all our clients.
