About
Customers should get the same great experience whether they walk in or start online.
I'm Vice President at ALPA Insurance, a Texas auto insurance agency with offices across the state. I lead insurance sales, agency operations, and customer experience, including personal and non-standard auto insurance, and I'm building a hybrid agency model where customers can start online and finish in person.
I joined ALPA as a regional sales manager in 2021 and grew into director of sales and then vice president. I speak at insurance industry conferences about the future of the independent insurance agency, and I write about Texas auto insurance, digital transformation, and insurance marketing. I hold an MBA in Project Management and a Harvard Business School certificate in Strategic Financial Analysis and Design Thinking.
