Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
I've never been one to fit in. I am exceptionally extraverted, overly helpful, and loyal to a fault. I excel at backwards problem-solving, whereas I enjoy seeing what the resulting problem is and routing back to what started it. I enjoy creative roles where I can be asked to provide something specific and have the ability to generate a custom-tailored deliverable that helps set the organization apart from the status-quo. Schedule management, budgeting, and other aspects of project management are something that come easy to me. But, I think my best feature is that I learn new things easily and quickly. I don't like to get stuck in one way of thinking, so I genuinely believe the best way to be a forward-thinker is to always be open to and searching for new learning opportunities. Never looking to get rich, I simply dream of a place and a position where I am appreciated, accepted for who I am, and able to get by on bills and raising 4 tiny monsters.

With Quantum Assurance International, Inc. since its inception, I worked as a licensed insurance sales specialist for both commercial and personal lines products, producing in several states including: NJ, PA, MD, VA, DC, DE, NC, SC, GA, OH, WV, MO, AL, CO, IN and TX. With nearly $700k in written premium in my tenure, I have ample experience and knowledge of over 21 different carriers, their quoting systems, and underwriting guidelines. My biggest enjoyment in this role was providing friendly, compassionate, and enthusiastic assistance to customers both in sales and service. Upon request, I organized and generated numerous resource materials for relaying and referencing underwriting and risk guidelines. Additionally, I aided in the product development of online lead generation forms for a variety of lines, including personal home and auto, commercial auto and trucking, as well as renters and condo policies. I am proficient in most CRMs, production trackers, all Microsoft products, and can efficiently handle policy servicing requests including billing, re-writes, and customer retention.
In my 10 year career, I assisted in building the fully accredited Germanna Community College Police Department under the direction of Retired Deputy Chief Karen Houchens and Chief Craig Branch. In addition to patrolling and monitoring the safety and security of students and staff at all college campuses and locations, I coordinated special events surrounding victim and survivor focused issues including stalking, domestic violence, and sexual assault. Also provided court accompaniment services, RAD certified women's self-defense courses to over 300+ local teenage and adult females. Authored every quarterly public safety newsletter, worked with Clery Act compliance college-wide efforts to include gathering of statistics and annual reporting to the Federal Department of Education. In addition to these, I also raised funds for victim/survivor focused programs including Man in a Box, The Empty Table movement, SAAM, DVAM, and more. Through the applying for and award of local grants, I assisted in writing and producing an education video on the safe and responsible reporting of relationship violence in a collegiate setting, which is still used as an integrated part of Student Development Course requirements.
