Agency: Avery W Hall Insurance

Location: Salisbury, MD

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?

My 37 years in the industry have allowed me the opportunity to work in various roles within my agency. I’ve met many people, assisted clients in different industries, as well as mentored and trained incoming employees. The strong relationships I built and nurtured with clients and fellow agents helped to aid in business retention and cultivate the caring, knowledgeable staff at Avery Hall. Watching the growth of our team and our clients’ peace of mind has been a point of pride in my career.

What words of wisdom would you offer young women just beginning their insurance careers?

Insurance is an exciting, ever-changing industry and can be very rewarding. Build strong relationships, network, and seek a mentor. Don’t let the intimidation of being a woman prevent you from becoming a leader in the industry; instead, use your voice, skills, and perspective to make a difference in the lives of others.
