I am very passionate about music and the way it affects peoples lives. As a 4 year member of Brothas From Otha Mothas (UCSB's all male acapella group), I had the opportunity to perform in many venues and occasions. We performed for many events ranging from professor retirement ceremonies, dinners at the university chancellor's house, and memorial services.

American Income Life Insurance Company
Nov 2015 - Aug 2016Supervising AgentProvided service to over 90 personal clients as well as the clients of my downline and the people I managed. In 1.5 hours per client, I used a systematic questioning process to determine the eligibility of their coverage. I reviewed information from a variety of different health institutions and insurance laws. After reviewing and evaluating the clients’ health and habit history, a tentative acceptance or rejection of coverage was given to the client. All health and personal information was held confidential between the client, the agent (me), and the company wasmade aware of major pre-existing conditions. In many cases, I persuaded hostile clients on why they should or should not enroll in a coverage program. This position required me to be in constant communication with either my 3 supervisors, a client, or an individual I managed, so as to meet the client’s needs as well as the company’s goals. I had to routinely remain patient, courteous, and tactful in interacting and responding to a client’s needs and concerns. Simultaneously, I needed to bebprofessional with my up line in making sure they receive pertinent documents and information within a 5 day period from the initial enrollment or else the client may not receive coverage and the company may lose money Show less
