Practice Areas: Commercial Risk and Client Services
After more than four decades in the insurance industry, Melody never tires of knitting together successful projects for clients, whether they’re Fortune 500 companies, or a small, family businesses.
For Melody, creating strong outcomes for clients is a result of dependability, honesty, and always being willing to take on projects that other firms might shy away from.
“Clients value timeliness when it comes to filling their requests. They also value the fact that we are equipped to take on challenges that some competitors would rather ignore, and find solutions that others simply miss.”
While there are definitely challenges involved in keeping up with multiple requests, Melody has learned a trick or two from two of her favorite hobbies: crocheting and embroidering.
“Both hobbies require that I have patterns in mind, and that I work toward a goal. Insurance and risk management often follow a similar trajectory. We all find ourselves stitching things together to achieve a desired outcome for our clients.”
