Honored to be NAIFA-IL’s Member Spotlight
I am truly honored to be recognized by NAIFA-IL as a Member Spotlight for my journey in the insurance industry. Being a NAIFA member since 2011, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to this incredible community, advocating for our profession, and helping individuals achieve financial security.
A Journey of Dedication and Growth
My career in insurance began over 35 years ago, but the path wasn’t always easy. As an international student earning my MBA in 1990, I faced challenges that shaped my resilience and work ethic. A key turning point in my journey was the guidance of a mentor who helped me navigate the world of sales. That experience solidified my passion for this industry and its ability to transform lives.
Belief in the Work We Do
I’ve always believed that success in this profession comes from truly caring about the work. Insurance is not just about policies and numbers—it’s about securing futures, protecting families, and making a meaningful difference. That belief has guided me throughout my career and continues to fuel my passion for financial planning.
Advocating for the Future of Insurance
Beyond my work at Futurity First, I’m deeply committed to industry advocacy. Through my involvement with NAIFA, I actively support efforts to ensure the longevity of life insurance and financial planning. Our profession plays a critical role in people’s lives, and it’s our responsibility to protect and strengthen it for future generations.
Advice for Those Entering the Industry
For those considering a career in insurance, my advice is simple: focus on helping people, not just making money. If you’re in it for the right reasons, the rewards—both personal and professional—are limitless. This career has given me the opportunity to make a difference, and I’m grateful for every step of the journey.
I appreciate NAIFA-IL for this recognition and for their continued support of professionals in our field. Thank you to my colleagues, mentors, and clients who have been a part of this incredible experience.
