I was looking for a job opportunity and a family friend who was working at Reliance Partners at the time referred me! They told me it was a great place to work, and the community here was wonderful! I just completed my four-year anniversary this June 1st and have loved every minute of it!

In elementary school gym class, they taught the entire third grade class how to juggle! Ever since then I’ve been able to juggle. Stop by my desk and bring some Tennis balls if anyone ever wants to learn!

My go-to beverage that I must have is coffee! Whether it’s iced/hot (Or the cold brew at our office) can’t go a day without it! Also, there is a great Oreo pudding cup that our cafeteria has downstairs, can confirm it’s a 10 out of 10!

Some items that I must have while working is my migraine medication and my desk umbrella! The desk umbrella has been a game changer when I get a migraine in the office!

If I could have a superpower that only works in the office, I would say it would have to be superspeed! I would use it to complete all my requests and help the rest of my team with their work as well!

Freight fraud isn’t just increasing, it’s getting smarter.

“Freight fraud has moved from opportunistic theft to organized, technology-enabled deception. The bigger shift is identity-based fraud: bad actors impersonating legitimate motor carriers, brokers, dispatchers, or factoring companies to get control of freight or payment.” - Jamie Cannon, SVP of Logistics Services at Reliance Partners

As fraud tactics evolve, brokers and carriers need stronger vetting processes, smarter risk management, and the right insurance strategy to stay protected.
