Through my 28 years working in human resources, I saw firsthand how benefits decisions impact employee retention, morale, and financial security. I've also seen through my life's experience how, in the most challenging of times, having good coverage can change a life.
Far too often I saw how people felt overwhelmed, under-informed, or unsupported when trying to navigate insurance options.
Midwest Supplemental Partners was created to change that experience.

When appropriate, I also offer access to carefully selected complementary solutions, including:
Life insurance portfolio (including options through BetterLife)

With important matters such as insurance, financial protection, health concerns, and providing for our businesses and families, trust and communication is crucial.

Let’s Talk About What Protection Looks Like for You
Whether you’re an employer, individual, or entrepreneur, we’d welcome the opportunity to help you explore options that support you, your people and your peace of mind.
I've sat with people my entire career; in the joy, the challenges, the grief, and the celebrations. Providing support, guidance, and making sure people felt heard.
And I've always been a bit of a protector, ensuring the safety of others.
Being an agent allows me to bring those two elements together - supporting and protecting - so that needs don't go unmet and people are in the best position possible during unexpected challenges.

What's Important to me in my work?
Connection, the human element, being of service & bringing the best possible solutions, products, and pricing to meet individual needs.
Living in authenticity and living out my values. And that people know they are cared for.
