  I got into insurance because it touches many different industries. Through my exposure to risk management, I’ve learned the different nuances and intricacies that can provide value to business owners looking to grow and operate their business. My peers have passed along knowledge of their unique experiences and have demonstrated their expertise in certain niche markets, providing valuable insight to what makes a risk management expert.

  I was at a large corporation where my future path was unclear. While looking for a change in industry and careers, I found Smith Brothers. From my first interview, I was provided a route to success. I communicate with my manager on my performance weekly, including any challenges I may be finding. We also meet monthly to discuss my path forward. There are opportunities in different career tracks with everything I am learning and experiencing. I look forward to having the chance to shadow my team members in departments that interest me as I decide the next step in my future.

  I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset, but owning and operating a business isn’t something I wanted to do on my own. At Smith Brothers, I can use my entrepreneurial mindset to grow my niche of clients with the backing of a larger company and the support of a close-knit team. I have resources and guidance of the people around me to learn, grow, support my teammates, and help my clients.

 I was looking for a place where I could plant roots and grow while starting out in a new career. I saw a clear path for development that aligned with my goals. I came with limited knowledge of insurance and risk management and my teammates have invested a lot of time and effort to teach me the business and continue to offer me the tools, support, and development I need.
