After graduating with a Bachelor's in biology from UC San Diego, and working as a student researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, I was working in quality at Baxter BioScience – and I loved my job. But when I took the leap to safety, and insurance, I learned this is the best job in the world. When I'm not helping clients stay safe, I am enjoying the outdoors with family.
