May is here and that means warmer weather, Mother’s Day, and graduations! Get your classic cars, bikes, boats, ATVs, or UTVs and campers ready. Its time to go outside again! As you are pulling covers off your toys, it’s also a great time to check your insurance and make sure you are properly covered. Stop in, call, or text us – we are here to help!
I’ve been proudly assisting our community as a State Farm agent since 2021! With a team that has over 75 years of combined experience helping customers and families just like you, our agency is equipped to help ensure you are properly protected. Our office in Park Rapids is excited to serve all of Minnesota, including Akeley, Dorset, Nevis, Osage, Menahga, Sebeka, Lake George, Laporte and beyond. We offer almost every type of insurance you could need: Auto, Home, Renters, Life, Business, Disability, Boat, Snowmobile, ATV, Camper, Personal Articles, Bonds—you name it!
I grew up in Little Falls, where my parents were heavily involved in the community. My dad owned and operated the local Dairy Queen, while my mom worked as a real estate agent. I spent countless hours learning from both of them and gaining an appreciation for small business ownership. After high school, I attended Minnesota State University Moorhead, where I earned my dual major in English and Mass Communications, along with a minor in economics.
Now, I live right here in Park Rapids. My husband, Nick, and I were excited to return to Minnesota in 2021 after spending seven years in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Our German Shepherd/Husky mix, Booker, is our adventure companion—he goes everywhere with us! Living on the Fishhook River, we spend many evenings out on the boat or relaxing on our back deck, taking in the beautiful view.
When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me reading a book, watching baseball or hockey, and spending time outdoors. In the summer, Nick and I compete on the Rotary Dragon Boat racing team, and last summer, we won gold at the Lake Superior meet. We also love to travel and always have our next trip planned!
Our agency takes pride in our focus on educating our customers. We take the time to explain everything - from the basics of liability coverage on autos, all the way to the finer details of a homeowners policy. It certainly takes more time, but we want our customers to feel confident and informed about their coverage when they leave our office. With my small business background, we also specialize in helping business owners find the right coverage for their unique operations. No two businesses are alike, and we enjoy the challenge of creating customized policies that address their biggest concerns.
Building long-term relationships with our customers is one of our top priorities! Regular check-ins are a key part of our process to ensure our customers’ coverage still makes sense for their lives. New customers also go through a structured process to get to know our team and feel comfortable with us. Our conversations are deeper than transactional, and we truly care about the people we serve.
I’m proud to be active in my community as a chamber member and regularly volunteer with the Armory Arts and Events Center. I am also a Rotary member – I love giving back to the Park Rapids area!
If you’re looking for an agency that will take the time to educate, listen, and make sure you truly understand your long-term protection, we’d love to work with you. Give us a call or stop by our Park Rapids office today – we’re here to help!
