What inspired you to become a benefits professional?
My first job in high school was working at a hotel as a bellman and valet, and I loved the customer service aspect of the work. Trying to anticipate client needs, go the extra mile, and make their experience as smooth as possible fit really well with my personality and I think there are a lot of parallels in our role as consultants and advisers. After working for a number of years as a client manager at a small firm, transitioning into a lead consultant role at Bolton & Company has been an amazing opportunity to better serve clients with modern tools and resources and expand our growing client base throughout California.
