I don’t know about you, but I always appreciate those moments when everything feels renewed and ready for what’s next. That’s how we approach insurance too. Every day, my team and I are excited to help people protect what matters most, whether that’s Auto insurance to keep you moving, Home insurance to safeguard where you live, or Life insurance and Health insurance to prepare for whatever comes down the road. If you’re exploring coverage options, we focus on finding something that fits both your needs and your budget.

A little about me. I began my State Farm agency journey right here in Chanhassen in 1989, shortly after graduating from college. Over the past 30 plus years, I’ve had the privilege of building lasting relationships with local families. In some cases, we insure three generations within the same family, and that never gets old. Our goal each day is to provide the kind of service that makes people throughout Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Chaska, Victoria, and surrounding communities feel like they truly come first. We understand that Auto, Home, Life, and Renters insurance may not be everyone’s favorite topic, but it has always been one we genuinely enjoy helping with.

I’m also incredibly grateful to work alongside five wonderful team members who collectively bring 35 years of insurance experience to our office. They’ve answered just about every insurance question imaginable and are committed to making each interaction a positive one as we help you put the right protections in place. Over the years, our office has been honored by State Farm with recognitions such as Crystal Excellence and Ambassador Club, which reflects the care we put into serving our community.

Outside the office, I’m usually spending time with my husband, Steve, on Lake Minnetonka. Whether we’re kayaking, boating, or simply enjoying the view, it’s one of our favorite ways to slow down. We have five kids ranging in age from 23 to 30, which makes for plenty of relatable conversations with the families we work with. There is always something to laugh about and a lot to talk through.

When you’re in downtown Chanhassen, stop by our office, enjoy one of the local restaurants, or catch a concert in the park, and let’s talk about preparing an insurance package that fits you and your life!
