Victoria’s expertise comes from a complete and thorough knowledge of the Medicare system.
She is especially well-versed in programs and benefits that might assist a Medicare eligible
person with the cost of their plan, their copays, prescription drugs and assistance in paying
their Medicare Part B premium. After several years as a captive agent with UnitedHealthcare,
she decided to spread her wings and become an independent broker with Bridlewood
Insurance where she now represents a wide array of Medicare companies. Moving to
Bridlewood gave her the freedom to work with all the Medicare carriers and multiple plans
available in Colorado. With so many choices and confusion surrounding Medicare, she knows
her clients can trust that she will have the knowledge and professional expertise that they need
and deserve.

Victoria firmly believes it is difficult for prospective clients to know what to ask of her as their
Medicare insurance advisor, especially when they are already stressed and overwhelmed with
information. One of her strengths is making sure she is the one asking the correct questions
enabling her to recommend the best plan for her client, taking into consideration all sorts of
factors (i.e. health history both past and present, budget, doctor and hospital preferences,
medications, etc.)  At this point, the entirety of her business comes from referrals and to her,
there is no better compliment she could receive.

Victoria attended University of Oxford – Oxford England and has Bachelor of Letters from St.
Anne’s College.  She also graduated from the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. Victoria
began her Medicare career as an internal agent for UnitedHealthcare in 2010, and received the
highly coveted certificate of recognition as the Top Agent for Medicare Advantage sales, and
was also among the top 10 agents in the region and the #2 Independent Agent for the entire
Western Division of UnitedHealthcare.

Victoria grew up in Midlands, England. After several years in France and Africa, she decided to
settle in the LoDo area of Denver, Colorado, which is Denver’s oldest neighborhood, and is
home to some of the city’s best-known restaurants, galleries, shops and boutiques.
In addition to a busy and engaging Medicare business, she participates in the following
organizations: Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Alliance Francaise, Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Colorado, Denver Business Journal, and Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Victoria’s pastimes include hiking with her two English Springer Spaniels, cycling, cooking,
reading, Opera, traveling, as well as attending art and gallery exhibits.

There was some downsizing, and now she is looking forward to her opportunities with Bridlewood!  Having mainly been focused on Medicare Advantage plans and Special Needs plans, she is looking forward to increasing her knowledge base, so that she can provide her clients with the most appropriate options for their situations. Sandra loves helping people understand Medicare and the different options they have for supplemental insurance, with extra benefits and that can save them money and give them peace of mind.
