Risk Strategies Company

I've been in the Employee Benefits world since 2007 and I'm excited to now partner with Risk Strategies as Vice President of Business Development.  My years in this industry have taught me a lot, and the most important lesson I've learned is this:  More than anything else, employees, employers, C-level executives, owners, and HR leaders deserve a partner who...

💪 Understands the Benefits world and keeps up with innovation.
💪 Takes the time to really get to know (and WANTS to know) their company/industry/business.
💪 Willingly walks their clients through a REAL and INNOVATIVE long-term strategic benefits system based upon the needs of their employees, and the company financially.

The sad fact is that the vast majority in this industry never take the time to do these things for and with their clients. It's one of the reasons benefit rates are consistently increasing, employee satisfaction is at an all time low, and brokers are forced to move from carrier to carrier begging for a better deal. 

If you are a company and you are looking for a partner, a real partner, that will walk with you through this minefield of Employee Benefits, then let's talk.

Highly successful in my biotech career, my life didn’t feel like I’d hoped. The accolades, the achievements, the praise...everything looked right on paper, but I was unfulfilled and disconnected.

Meditation and coaching support allowed me to create the life I wanted personally and professionally. I upleveled my performance, prioritized my personal well-being, and ultimately built a business which allows me to now help others do the same.

As a certified meditation teacher, wellness coach and corporate speaker, I arm busy professionals with the skills and resources to ditch stress and optimize their focus for increased engagement, productivity, and performance.
