What is something within the healthcare industry you want to fix? I would love to be able to fix the customer service issues at some of the carriers we deal with. Sometimes it can be not easy to get the needed answers and help. I navigate this by being persistent, asking follow-up questions, and communicating with the agents and clients regarding the outcome.
What do you do at Senior Benefit Services? I am the Vice President of Operations for all three of our locations (Hagerstown, Cumberland, and Thurmont) ensuring the offices are running smoothly and efficiently. I have been with SBS Inc. since 2008. One of the most important aspects of my job is to ensure the staff are happy and well-trained providing the best client and agent support possible.
What do you like about working at Senior Benefit Services, Inc.? I love the family atmosphere at Senior Benefit Services, that is probably the best thing. I like that every day has its routines, but challenges also help keep each day fresh and rewarding.
What’s your background? I grew up and currently live in Greencastle, PA. Before working for Senior Benefit Services, I was in college studying to become an RN while working in retail. I have always enjoyed paperwork (there’s a lot of it in insurance!) and helping people.
What values drive you? Perseverance and determination: I overcame a lot of obstacles in high school which taught me to be resilient. Enthusiasm and optimism: I always look for and hope for the best in people. Hardworking: If I am not striving to do my best and not putting forth my best effort I don’t feel like I was successful.
What activities do you enjoy doing when not at work? When not in the office, I can be found sitting at the ice rink for my daughter’s hockey practice or my husband’s game. Ice hockey is a family activity and passion for us, especially catching a Hershey Bears or Pittsburgh Penguins game. Outside of hockey, I enjoy taking dance classes (ballet, jazz, and tap), reading, being active outside, and baking.
