Beth has been a long-term resident of both Orange and Riverside counties, and currently lives in southwest Inland Empire. She offers her clients a wide range of Medicare Advantage, Supplement and Prescription Drug plans.

Beth’s background is in Financial/Accounting, Contract Administration, Life and Health Insurance, and Retirement Investment Planning.  She has also worked in the Financial, Real Estate, Commercial Products & Services, Aerospace and Banking industries. She joined Bridlewood Insurance in 2021 after receiving a newsletter from an affiliate broker under Bridlewood.  Their “Medicare Made Easy” process that they offer is seamless and easy to follow.  Beth really liked the idea of becoming a “problem solver” to seniors in need, rather than an insurance sales agent.  She was impressed with the high level of integrity and support Bridlewood offers to empower their agent’s success.  She felt it was an easy decision to join their team.  Because she enjoys helping others, Beth always endeavors to work smartly and diligently to provide coverage choices that are the most beneficial for each individual client.

Her favorite extracurricular activity is her role of Volunteer Leadership and Planning for Thrivent Action Teams fundraising events.  These events benefit various non-profit community service organizations in the Inland Empire.  Beth also enjoys off-season travel to experience the different culture, history, art and cuisine of each destination.
