I began my career representing Co-operators in 1999 and have always enjoyed helping people build an insurance portfolio that meets their needs. I am a Certified Insurance Professional (CIP) with general and life insurance licences, and have expanded my product knowledge base to include investments, auto, travel, home, farm, business and life insurance through intense training courses and continuing study.
