Biographical Information
Just as I was about to finish college in South America and was looking forward to studying art in Spain, my father was offered a job in the United States and moved our entire family there. I found myself all alone in a foreign country whose culture was completely unfamiliar to me. I made a choice to adapt and rise to the challenge, overcoming many obstacles along the way to completely reinvent myself.Â
From interior design I found my way to insurance. Although these are two very different industries, both involve problem solving. As I continued through my insurance career, I ultimately established a commercial insurance brokerage firm. Â
My company specializes in helping business leaders protect their global interests with insurance solutions that are customized to their needs. Â My experience in overcoming these cultural differences made me an ideal candidate to serve these business leaders, understanding what their needs were.
One client came to me with concerns about expanding his business into Mexico. Due to his lack of knowledge about the buying and manufacturing process and their very different labor laws, he was frustrated and felt as though he wouldn't be able to move forward with his company’s expansion into Mexico. I was able to customize a solution and successfully solve his problems. Besides Mexico, he went on to open three stores in Europe, as well. With hindsight, I realize how important my struggles were in allowing me to positively impact this client.
