Personal Insurance Claim Help: Excel Insurance Group Advocacy

As a seasoned insurance professional of nearly 30 years, I have always considered myself lucky to have stumbled upon the insurance industry and become an experienced and truly caring insurance professional. What has inspired me to commit to the insurance industry for so long? The answer is simple --- I love helping people in a challenging environment.

Over the years, I have gained a reputation for being a trustworthy partner, mentor, and advisor. While I am proud of this reputation, I would have to say that my greatest pride is attributed to my family, friends and clients. In my spare time, I prefer to keep busy with a variety of hobbies: listening to live music, playing golf and tennis, and sprucing up my home and garden, just to name a few.

My training in marketing and communications, as well as the rich and diverse experience I have garnered through professional involvement in technology domains, make me a key resource when executing on business strategy through the mobilization of teams. I lead through a structured, methodological approach. Throughout the years, I have developed a leadership style that is strong and positive, enabling me to communicate clear vision and precise objectives so that teams understand where they are going, realise plans on how to get there and the concrete results expected.

My imperative is to work with teams and organizations to remove barriers and grow revenues by engaging on human levels, promoting ownership and accountability, and collectively driving impact.

Thoughtful and ambitious, I am known for being honest, respectful and good-fashioned fun. Driven by a desire to succeed, I enjoy setting goals for myself and the people I work for: my clients. New to the industry, I am looking forward to bringing fresh perspectives to existing routines, procedures and processes.

insurance business; in my case, I was injured working in a vet clinic and my search to find a desk job landed me here.

I love helping people. Many people in this industry will tell you that too. What I love more, however, is helping people understand what it is we are doing and why we are doing it. Few among us really know enough and by helping them - especially through difficult claims or stressful times - I get to help them see insurance differently and I get to watch perspectives change.

Honest, caring and quick, I am known by colleagues and clients as efficient. The same person inside the office as outside, people can count on me. Always available to answer any question you have, I suppose I bring the outside mom here to work with me every day.

Before starting my career path in insurance, I was enrolled at Grant MacEwan in the Correctional Services Program. Part way through, I discovered that the career opportunities were very limited in this field, and there were barriers for female employees. I decided to leave college in pursuit of another career that had more promising career opportunities. Having talked to many friends with successful careers in the insurance industry, I was quickly convinced that this was the career path that I had been looking for. Before getting hired in insurance, I wrote the first licensing exam, and I started to feel apprehensive that my friends had exaggerated how fulfilling their career paths in insurance were --- it just sounded WAY too good to be true! Thankfully, I soon discovered I was wrong after being hired by the Treasures family to work at Grey Power Insurance. Like my friends, I enjoyed my work and felt passionate and fulfilled in my career… a decade later, and I have been hooked ever since!

Insurance is a rewarding career path for me because I achieve great satisfaction in watching small businesses grow, and knowing that I had a part in protecting their dreams and investments. Furthermore, I take great pride in being a part of a top-notch team environment with my work family. I offer a chipper, courteous, and meticulous personality to my clients, and they appreciate my fine-tined attention to detail, organizational skills, and love for problem solving.
