On a personal note, I've lived in Jefferson County, MO, most of my life, and I graduated from the University of Missouri. I'm passionate about giving back to the community, so my team and I sponsor many events, host blood drives, and hold assemblies in high schools to promote safe driving. I enjoy spending time with my two adult twin children and their pets, Appa, Poppy, and Louie. In my free time, I play pickleball and practice yoga. I look forward to meeting you and learning how you stay connected to this wonderful community.

Q: What coverage is required when leasing a car?

A: Leased vehicles typically require more coverage than the state minimums. In addition to liability insurance, leasing companies usually require comprehensive and collision coverage, and you may need to list the leasing company on your policy as an additional insured or loss payee. Have questions? Sandy in Festus can walk you through your options.

Q: What protections does home insurance usually provide?

A: Homeowners insurance can help protect your home, your personal belongings, and your finances. It typically includes coverage for the structure of your home, your belongings, liability protection, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. Sandy works with Festus residents to find coverage that fits.

Q: How does a life insurance policy actually function?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. As long as coverage remains active, it can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Connect with Sandy for insurance guidance in Festus.

Q: What is renters insurance?

A: Renters insurance is a policy designed to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting a home or apartment. It focuses on your possessions and potential risks, rather than the building itself, which is typically covered by your landlord's policy. In Festus, you can count on Sandy for personalized service.
