I’m a mom and wife first, to a bright, curious 8-year-old daughter and a kind-hearted 11 year-old son who is on the autism spectrum. That part of my journey has profoundly
shaped how I see the world and how I show up for others, both personally and professionally.

I believe in real, meaningful relationships, the kind where people feel seen, not just served. I strive to understand each person who they are and what they may be carrying.

I’ve spent 13 years living at the intersection of benefits, payroll, and HR technology. That’s an unusual combination, and it’s exactly what makes me a different kind of broker.

As a Group Health Insurance Broker at Cross Insurance, when I design a health plan I’m already thinking about how it flows through your HRIS, reconciles in your GL, and lands in your employees’ paychecks. No manual errors. No finger pointing between vendors. No surprises at renewal. Every client gets an individual strategy built around their people, their culture, and their long term goals.

We show up as a partner, not a vendor, which means we’re still at the table a decade from now, not just at renewal time. For New England employers I specialize in making benefits work as a system. Carrier negotiations, renewal strategy, ACA and ERISA compliance, employee communication, and the technical integration work that holds it all together.

If you’re an HR or finance leader tired of benefits chaos, or a CEO who wants a total rewards strategy that actually attracts and retains talent, I’d love to connect.

Business relationships start with people, not products. Because behind every benefit decision is a story, a need, a hope, and I never forget that.
