I am very proud to announce that have officially earned my “Certified Insurance Counselor” (CIC) designation.

The CIC is a nationally recognized designation for insurance professionals, signifying advanced expertise in risk management and insurance policies.

Awarded by “The National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research”, this credential requires the completing of five intensive courses and passing the respective rigorous exams.

I began the process of earning this designation back in 2022; outside of earning my Risk Management degree from Butler University’s Lacey School of Business, this has been one of the most challenging, yet rewarding accomplishments that I have achieved.

I look forward to using my knowledge to continue helping clients protect what matters most!
