I was born, and currently reside, in New Bedford, MA. I began my Insurance career here at Paul Murphy Insurance in January of 2009. When I began working at the agency, I was residing in the greater Boston area and taking classes through Northeastern University. I began writing and reviewing personal auto policies, which later expanded into other aspects of personal lines insurance including homeowners and dwelling fire policies, umbrella policies, boat insurance and personal article floaters. Over the years, I have acquired professional designations in both personal lines as well as commercial lines insurance. I have been involved in book rolls as well as the integration of several new insurance companies into this office. Although I now concentrate more in the Commercial lines area of the business, personal lines insurance is still an integral part of my day to day operations.

As an industry, the products and availability of the insurance companies are constantly evolving, we as insurance professionals are tasked with keeping up with the times. There is never a dull moment in this industry and I welcome this challenge. It is exciting to be able to speak to our customers and explain the changes that are taking place all while being able to offer different products to fit their evolving needs. When I first began at this office, I viewed my original position in the agency as a job, but now take it on as my career. I look forward to the years to come here at Paul Murphy Insurance Agency!
