I have been in the insurance business for over 25 years. I have spent the majority of my career in an agency. I love working in an agency where I can build client relationships.

Ann worked in accounting for many years with her father. Her first insurance job was with POE & Associates, as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) in the Bond and Liability Department.
After taking time off to raise her girls, Ann went back into the accounting field with a local Engineering Firm. During her employment at the Firm, Ann took advantage of the OJT continuing education courses and learned a lot about Employment Practice Liability, which rekindled her interest in insurance. Ann enjoyed being a CSR, but was excited to get her 220 Agent license and be more involved within the insurance industry.
Professional Insurance Services welcomed Ann in June of 2012. Her knowledge and experience is an asset to the company. “Working at a local agency allows you to get to know your clients and build business relationships, which I believe is valued by both parties”. Ann specializes in writing auto, home, flood, boat, and umbrella insurance for the agency.
