BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Q: What advice would you give young women entering the industry today?

A: "It’s so important to learn the technical side of our trade. Our clients look to us to be that trusted advisor and we have a responsibility to educate and inform them about what risk means to their company. Take advantage of every opportunity (formal and informal) to learn. Develop a strong network within the industry—it will serve you throughout your career. Find a couple of mentors in and outside the industry whom you trust to provide you with guidance and honest feedback as you grow in your profession."

 

 

Q: Who has had the greatest influence on your career and why?

A: "While so many in this business have had an influence on my career, I would have to say that my parents have had the single biggest influence. They instilled strong values: uncompromised work ethic, loyalty, honesty, never give up. They shaped who I am and provided the support to succeed."

 

 

Q: If you had the ability to change one thing about the industry what would it be?

A: "The insurance industry is a fantastic industry with extraordinarily bright people and vast opportunity. I think that more uniformity and consistency in insurance regulation would create efficiencies that don’t currently exist which would ultimately benefit our clients."
