About me
I began my career in the insurance industry in 2022 with the Esther Smith State Farm Insurance Agency. As the Office Manager, I am dedicated to ensuring our operations run smoothly while helping customers find coverage that is most suitable for their needs—whether it’s car insurance, home insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, condo insurance, or business insurance—and protecting what and who they love most.
I proudly serve customers in Lanham, Seabrook, Greenbelt, Hyattsville, and many more communities. My favorite part of the job is making sure customers leave with a clear understanding of their coverages and how they work. Originally from Jamaica, I moved to the U.S. in 2014. In my free time, I enjoy attending church, watching track and field events, cooking, and baking. I am also currently learning to speak Korean. Give us a call or stop by our Lanham, MD office to speak with me or someone on the Esther Smith State Farm team!
