Shelley joined High & Associates in 2002 as an Employee Benefits Specialist. She began her career as a Loan Officer in 1995 after graduating from Texas A&M University but was drawn to the Insurance field in 1999 where she became a Registered Representative selling Life Insurance, Annuities, Mutual Funds and Property and Casualty Insurance. In 2000 she began working in the health insurance market and found that her passion was helping businesses secure comprehensive and affordable benefits for their employees.
Shelley believes that the key to a successful benefit program is employee education and is committed to educating your employees in all aspects of their benefit plans by providing group meetings any time changes are made to your benefit plans and/or at your request. Employees who understand their benefits and how they work become valuable partners in utilizing a benefit package to its full potential.
