What is your role at The Benefit Doctor?
As an insurance broker, I act as your personal guide in the world of insurance. Think of me as a matchmaker, connecting you with policies that fit your unique needs. I’m here to simplify the complex, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident about your coverage choices. Your peace of mind is my priority, and I’m dedicated to being a reliable partner in protecting what matters most to you.
What do you love most about supporting our clients?
What I love most about supporting my insurance clients is building lasting relationships and providing peace of mind. Helping clients navigate complex insurance decisions and ensuring they feel secure brings me great satisfaction. Being a trusted advisor during important moments in their lives is truly rewarding.
What is a common challenge you help solve?
As an insurance broker, I simplify complex policies, ensuring clients understand their coverage options. By bridging the knowledge gap between insurers and clients, I empower informed decisions and secure appropriate protection.
What’s one thing clients / HR teams don’t realize about what you do?
One thing clients and HR teams often don’t realize is that as an insurance broker, I’m not just here to sell policies—I’m here to advocate, educate, and simplify the process. I bridge the gap between complex insurance jargon and real-world needs, ensuring clients truly understand their options. Whether it’s negotiating better rates, troubleshooting claims, or tailoring coverage to fit unique situations, my role is about making insurance work for **you**, not the other way around.
What makes BenDoc's approach different from other brokers in your opinion?
BenDoc stands out because we go beyond just offering insurance—we focus on education, transparency, and advocacy. Many brokers simply provide policies, but we take the time to ensure clients truly understand their coverage and how it works for them.
Our approach is personalized and proactive—we don’t just react when issues arise; we work to prevent them. We act as a true partner for HR teams and businesses, helping navigate the complexities of insurance with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s negotiating better plans, simplifying benefits for employees, or being there when clients need support, BenDoc puts people first.
Fun fact about you outside of work?
When I’m not helping clients navigate insurance, you’ll find me in the great outdoors making maple syrup! There’s something special about the process—from tapping the trees to boiling it down into liquid gold. Just like insurance, it’s all about patience, precision, and delivering something truly valuable!
Advice for anyone trying to create change and make an impact?
Change happens when you stay consistent, clear, and committed. Focus on small, meaningful actions, surround yourself with the right people, and don’t be afraid to challenge the norm. Keep pushing forward—impact follows action.
