About

From the Balance Sheet to the Field

My path into Medicare sales wasn't typical. I spent five years directing financial operations at the University of Arizona — overseeing budgets exceeding $300 million, building forecasting models and executive dashboards.

When I moved into Medicare sales, I brought that analytical discipline with me. Today, as a regional agency leader in the Phoenix market, I build broker channels the same way I built financial plans: grounded in data, competitive intelligence, and honest forecasting.

I recruit and develop independent agents and agencies, partner with physicians and community organizations, and design territory strategies that grow enrollment — especially in the bilingual and underserved communities where access matters most.
