My name is Neta – I started my career working with seniors in 1984 as a music therapist in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement homes, and senior centers. I have worked for more than 37 years with seniors, including 6 years in an inpatient medical geriatric psychiatry unit, as the Assistant Program Director.

I specialize in working with the more elderly seniors and their families, finding the best Medicare plans to meet their needs. Working with seniors that need a little more time and care gives me great pleasure.

My mission in life is to improve the quality of life for those around me. I fulfill that mission when I am able to get someone into the best plan for them and give them the most value for their money, increasing their peace of mind.

I was born in Oklahoma City, OK, and moved to Ridgecrest, CA (in the High Desert) when I was 5 years old.  At 19, I started college at California State University, Long Beach, studying music therapy, and decided to make it my home.
