Welcome to Sandy Taylor
Meet Sandy
Background:
Fresh out of school, Sandy had two job offers on the table: one in the insurance industry, the other in banking. She chose insurance and has turned it into a long, rewarding career.
“I enjoy supporting the wide range of clients we have here, including small businesses and large organizations. I’m motivated to solve problems on their behalf, and to provide consistent solutions. I value our firm’s focus on customer service, especially in an era when so many interactions happen over email. Picking up the phone makes a huge difference.”
Sandy is an expert at building collaborations between departments, and creating synergy among clients, colleagues, and industry partners.
Sandy enjoys antique hunting throughout Portland’s neighborhood shops and weekend estate sales. She’s always tracking down great pieces to restore, then give as gifts, or resell. She also enjoys taking her dogs to the park, visiting the coast, and spending time with family and friends.
