A Personal Connection to Education and Insurance...

Education has always been deeply rooted in my family’s story. My maternal grandmother spent over 30 years as a dedicated teacher, shaping countless young lives in her classroom. My mother, a librarian, inspired a love of learning and provided a quiet refuge for students seeking knowledge. And my paternal grandmother, a school cafeteria worker, nurtured generations of children with warm meals and kind words.

Growing up surrounded by these incredible women, I saw firsthand the sacrifices educators make for their communities and the passion they bring to their work. But I also saw the challenges they faced—the long hours, the modest salaries, and the uncertainty that came with trying to plan for the future while giving so much of themselves to others.

That’s why I believe so strongly in the mission of Horace Mann. This company exists to serve educators like my family—offering insurance and financial solutions tailored to the unique needs of those who dedicate their lives to teaching, guiding, and supporting students.

Why Insurance Matters for Educators

For educators, insurance isn’t just a policy—it’s peace of mind. It’s knowing that their families are protected, their assets are secure, and their futures are on solid ground. Teachers and school staff face challenges that are often overlooked, but the right insurance can make all the difference:

1. Providing for Their Families Life insurance ensures that loved ones are cared for if the unexpected happens. I think of my grandmother, who balanced her family’s needs with her commitment to her students, and how a safety net like this can ease the burden for educators everywhere.
2. Protecting Their Income For my paternal grandmother, a disability or injury could have meant financial ruin. Disability insurance is a crucial layer of protection, helping educators maintain stability when they can’t work due to unforeseen circumstances.
3. Securing a Comfortable Retirement While pensions are a vital part of educators’ financial plans, they aren’t always enough. Horace Mann can help teachers prepare for retirement with supplemental solutions so they can enjoy their later years without financial stress.
4. Safeguarding Their Assets Teachers, librarians, and school staff often invest their incomes into their homes, cars, and other essentials. Auto and home insurance help protect those investments, giving them one less thing to worry about.

A Personal Mission

When I think of my family’s legacy in education, I feel a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility. My maternal grandmother’s 30 years in the classroom weren’t just about teaching—they were about shaping futures. My mother’s role as a librarian wasn’t just about books—it was about opening doors to new worlds. And my paternal grandmother’s work in the cafeteria wasn’t just about meals—it was about nurturing the whole child.

That’s why I’m proud to be part of an organization like Horace Mann, which honors and supports educators every day. Teachers, librarians, cafeteria workers—they all play a role in building our communities. And they all deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re protected.
