After graduating Taylor, I made the decision to join a family business. I started a new career and also got married in the process. It was a busy time in my life navigating many new challenges but also very fun. I now work remotely as the agency's commercial sales manager and as an independent contractor.

What were some of your most valuable experiences at Taylor?

While at Taylor, I had the chance to work for an insurance agency in Fort Wayne a few days a week. That taught me so much about the industry I was going into. Taylor has some high caliber students that I was able to connect with and also become friends with.
