Annette graduated from Southern Oregon University with degrees in Political Science and Economics. Her first job out of college was with a large Portland based insurance carrier. Other than a brief 4 year stint at a telecom company during the late 90s, she has been in insurance ever since—on both the carrier and broker sides of the business. She enjoys the opportunities to meet and assist others, and the challenge of keeping abreast of the constant changes in Medicare and Individual Health Insurance. When not at DDI, she enjoys sports, movies, gardening, and volunteering for the Oregon Humane Society.
