Life changes quickly, and insurance should keep up. As your local State Farm agent in Crete, NE, I help people move from “I think I’m covered” to “I know I’m covered” through clear conversations and coverage that fits real life. Whether it’s a new vehicle, updates to your home, a growing family, a new commute, or the start of a business, those changes can quietly affect your protection. That’s why reviewing details like limits, deductibles, discounts, and beneficiaries matters. I believe confidence comes from understanding what you have and why it works for you.

What I appreciate most about State Farm is that it’s about more than policies. You have a local agent who knows the community, guidance you can understand, and support when you need help making a change or filing a claim. Our office is available to guide you on making auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, renters insurance, and small business insurance easier to navigate, so you can feel prepared instead of overwhelmed.

I was born and raised in Seward, NE, where I learned the value of small, tight‐knit communities. After graduating from Seward High School, I played four years of college basketball at Doane College in Crete, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in 1995. The friendships I built with students, professors, coaches, and people in the community are relationships I still value today. I began working for State Farm in 1998, and I quickly realized that what motivates me most is building long‐term relationships and helping others protect what matters to them. That same year, I met and married my husband, Patrick, a Dorchester, NE native. We have three children and one daughter‐in‐law: Kelly and his wife Marlie, Grace, and Jack, who keep us busy and grounded.

With nearly 30 years of experience across customer service, claims, reinspection and quality, and training with State Farm, I bring both practical knowledge and personal care to every conversation. Our office is proudly located in Crete, Nebraska, and we serve Crete, Dorchester, DeWitt, Wilber, Clatonia, Wilber, Exeter, Milligan, Friend, and surrounding communities.

From auto insurance and homeowners insurance to life, health, renters, farm, personal articles, and small business insurance, as well as banking options like checking, savings, CDs, loans, and credit cards, my goal is to help individuals, families, and businesses feel confident about what they’re preparing for next. I’d love the opportunity to connect and review how your coverage is supporting your life today!
