Does everyone need earthquake insurance?

The answer to this question may seem like a no-brainer because you may think Oklahoma is well-known for tornados, and earthquakes just don’t happen here. As insurance professionals, we know earthquakes can and do happen even in Oklahoma, and they can cause significant damage to your property. 

Over the years, there have been thousands of earthquakes in Oklahoma, one of which reached a devastating 5.8 magnitude, leaving many Oklahomans shocked. Neighbors had to deal with financial hardships as they were forced to pay out of pocket for damages. 

We care about you and your family and believe it is essential that you are informed about all the risks. It is not mandatory to have earthquake insurance, but if you are even wondering if you need earthquake insurance, you probably do. We want to be able to help you if the unexpected happens.

Our motto at MVP is SERVE AS IF, which is why we want you covered for earthquakes under your home insurance policy. We help families assess all the risks so they can make informed decisions about the coverage they need. 

We don’t want you to feel pressured into buying coverage you don’t want or don’t need. If you decide to opt out of earthquake coverage, we will never strong-arm you into adding it back in. We will keep you updated if it becomes a much bigger risk.

We would love to help you evaluate your needs and determine how we can enhance your coverage in the best way for you. We want to customize your policy to give you a sense of security and peace of mind. 

Contact us today so that life’s unexpected events will never be able to shake you!

“Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.” – Proverbs 3:25-36

What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?


My favorite Movie – Is Pride and Prejudice (2005)

My favorite song is . . . all of them!  I love all music except for maybe Death Metal!

My favorite book series that I have read recently is “The Prison Healer” series by Lynette Noni.  I love listening to young adult fiction the best.  Gets me out of my head and I get to take mini adventures with the characters.


Another series I really enjoyed was “Legend” by Marie Lu.  Both have amazing character development and unique surprises. A business book that I recently listened to that was amazing was Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni.

 

What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?


Colossians 3:4 “When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”  This is one of God’s promises when you live for the Lord, not everyone will understand that, and that’s okay, I am not for everybody.  I am for the ONE!


What is your dream Vacation?


My dream vacation would be to travel in the Mediterranean with my husband and all my kids and their families, for like 3 months and really get to experience the culture and the beauty there.

How did you get into Insurance?


I got into insurance in 2019 because God told me this was my next step when I came in to meet with Brent and Joan for the first time! I love being an insurance agent because I get to help educate people and help protect families. I love my job for so many reasons, but mostly because I work with incredible people, both at MVP and with the relationships I form with clients and referral partners.


What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?


I don’t know if I can choose an actual favorite, because I love so many things in life! But the song that brings me the most joy currently is Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World medley by IZ, with the ukulele. I love the words, the hopeful message, and I tend to always find the silver lining or the other side of the rainbow in every situation. I am an incurable optimist and joy seeker!


What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?


My favorite scripture is Ephesians 3:20, God is able to do exceedingly, and abundantly, more than we can ask or imagine!


What is your dream Vacation?


My dream vacation is a quiet place in the mountains! My husband and I took a belated honeymoon to Pagosa Springs, Colorado and it was a slice of heaven on earth! My ideal day would be spent outdoors, enjoying wildflowers, the sound of a river rushing by, cool mountain breezes, and the smell of pine trees. We loved the small town and beauty of Pagosa Springs so much that we are actively working towards being able to get a place there so we can escape to the mountains more regularly!

What is your dream Vacation?


My childhood dream vacation was to go to Disney World (like most little kids). However, as an adult my ultimate vacation would be to travel to Ireland and visit the many towns, and villages along the western shoreline. The most famous landmark in Ireland is probably the Cliffs of Moher which is at the top of my bucket list.

What do you enjoy most about working at MVP Insurance?

I love the family atmosphere that we have created here at MVP. Everyone is willing to go the extra mile to help a fellow client, co-worker, or strategic partner!

What is your favorite book, movie, and/or Song?

If you catch me reading it is most likely a book about business or personal development. One of my all time favorites is “Good to Great” by Jim Collins. I don’t think I can pick a favorite movie, but I am a huge fan of “The Office” TV Series (American Version). I like to think I’m a Jim, but truthfully, I’m probably more of a Michael!

I enjoy listening to all genres of music. People who ride with me are often taken aback because I’ll be streaming Beethoven from my phone and an EMINEM song will come on after.

What is your Favorite Quote or Scripture?

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13
“An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max. An office is a place where dreams come true.“ Michael Scott

Snow Skiing and a big cabin in the Mountains of Colorado!
