Additional Information
My ideal position would be remote or at least the ability to work from home when needed. I have been a licensed insurance agent for 30 years. I have managed an agency alone and I am a self- starter. I have worked for both direct writers as well as independent agencies. I really enjoy being an insurance agent because I like to help people and to educate them regarding their insurance needs. I believe I will be an asset.
